Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

    “Pick a distro” is why they’re waiting for steamos, presumably.

      This is fair. I should have given my own suggestions.

      Mint is probably the choice at the moment for new folks. Also, this will be controversial, but feel free with Ubuntu. It will get you started, and that’s great.

      Edit: I added some (open-ended) suggestions to my original comment.

      I think that is perfectly valid and I’ll happily recommend steamos to newcomers. I’m only a little worried about it being locked to flatpaks by default though. Hopefully that will change, but for most users it will be a good start.

        locked to flatpaks by default makes sense long-term, I think.

        Might be a little difficult in the beginning though.
