Even though this is mostly because of the Steam Deck, it’s still great news. More people get to try out Linux and find out how good the support for gaming on Linux is nowadays. Some may even feel compelled to switch to it on their main machine, especially after Microsoft drops Windows 10 support and forces everyone to upgrade to Windows 11 (which, while certainly better now, still feels like a downgrade IMO).
This probably isn’t the best place to discuss it and I often get hate for saying it but Windows 11 isn’t bad at all after you install a start menu replacement and one of the free apps that allow you to easily change a large number of things like explorer UI tweaks.

Agreed, and as a side not the steam deck is actually fucking awesome.
