Linux on PC is going to be getting more and more popular from now on, so it might be a good idea to take a look at it now as it offers a bunch of advantages over the dominant proprietary mainstream Desktop-OS called Windows.

Valve just released the Steam Deck a couple of weeks ago, yet another beautiful device natively powered by Linux, which is going to change the landscape of gaming on Linux forever.
