A win for Linux. I will always advocate Linux Desktop, and that Linux Desktop is the future. While proton may not be where we want it to be and game development is more geared towards and catered towards Windows development, Nvidia is opening its drivers up to open source models. Linux just gained a 4.45% market share increase recently (how long that will last with its learning curve is questionable) - The longest issue to date was/is DirectX and Microsoft Proprietary things are windows exclusive, I guess now shaders/ray tracing/new tech etc - I'm no longer a gamer, was in the past).

Viva, Linux Desktop.


Do you think this will finally be the year of the Linux desktop?


There's people out there who have used nothing but Windows all their life. A change will take decades.


The learning curve isn't really hard. I've installed Kubuntu for people, set them up with Chrome and turned the websites in to Chrome apps and they're good to go. Connect them to wifi and they don't know the difference. Works out of box.


This is the year, I'm feelin' it.
