If you'd told me 10 years ago that "2023 will be the year of the Linux gaming machine," I would've lol'd. You never can tell.

Yes, every year we have heard this is the year of Linux. It does seem like it’s becoming reality doesn’t it?

I think this is more of a Microsoft has dropped the ball, than Linux exceling.

I switched to Linux because Windows Filesystem was too unreliable with OneDrive hijacking it. (Also Cortana, auto open edge links, ads/ragebait news in the start menu)

But I needed something reliable, and Microsoft is no longer reliable.
