I believe I said it in a different post but 2023 was the year of the Linux desktop. Hardware like Bluetooth and webcams just work. Applications and games have gotten so much easier install thanks to Flatpak and Steam.

Now Plasma 6 is upon us. HDR could be supported this year. At this point avoid Linux only if it's missing a specific app you need.

Like most video games.

Nowadays all video games work on linux unless developers deliberately make it so they can't

Yeah looking at you Roblox 😠. Has anyone hacked that anti cheat nonsense yet? Right now I'm mirroring my android phone on my desktop to be able to see what I'm doing (I'm over 40 but I play with my kids in case you wondering)
