The recent news that SteamOS may soon be shipped with third-party devices could be particularly important for Linux gaming on desktops.

Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn’t precisely say they’re starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

    Linux doesn’t run as many games as Windows

    I’d argue it runs more due to compatibility breaks. Wine just-werks with a lot of old installers.

      Indeed. I couldn’t get a couple of old 3DO games working on windows 10/11 even though I bought them on Steam.

      Work great on Linux w/ Photon (aka wine).
