Great to see linux finally getting some notice in the gaming world. It is about time :)

@frodololo @mesamunefire I absolutely love it! It’s funny but native Windows games actually perform better on Linux because Linux is vastly more resource efficient than Windows. Windows suffers from huge code bloat. Plus Linux is more fun and satisfying. 😉

Proton is such a good tool. I play Windrose on my windows pc but it also runs well.on my steamdeck. I'm prepping a new pc for the kid and i think it will be linux out of the box, just to see how far it can go.

Tbh, another reason is that you can't change the boot logo anymore. That was one of the earliest "hacks" and i still have fond memories of the XP Pirated Edition Logo. It also sparked my fascination with tinkering with the OS - and with Win 11 that is all gone

@jagermo Smart move! The more people we can get on Linux, the better. My finacee is not an IT pro by any means and she really likes Linux when compared to Windows. One of my missions is to get everyone I can on a Linux distro.
