Why I like Linux on my Steam Deck but not my desktop
I never wanted to use Linux on my desktop or laptop, but in the hands of a dedicated developer, it becomes an amazing operating system.
Half of my problems with Windows have to do with its lackluster support for controllers, and if it wants to be the gaming operating system, it needs to be better in this regard. If SteamOS was officially released for PCs, I'd definitely switch to it for my Steam Machine. If I didn't depend on my desktop for my job, I might even put SteamOS on it too (with the right accessories, of course).
But it doesn't just have to be about gaming or even other focused experiences for PC hardware. I still hold out hope that one day, some company will make a Linux distro that does what Windows does but better, especially if it's anything like the Steam Deck vs the ROG Ally. It doesn't even need to be free; Windows isn't free, and I don't expect contributors to an open-source project to do it for free either. Linux is a powerful operating system with the potential to replace Windows, but only in the hands of an organization with a vision and resources.
