From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.

I already have the LCD, but the OLED has me seriously considering retiring it far earlier than I usually do with my electronics.

I've had a gaming laptop for years but I think I did more gaming on the deck in the first six months than I ever did on my laptop. The suspend mid-game, actually using it away from a power plug...

The Deck announcement made me try linux on my desktop again, too, just to see if Valve's claims about proton could be true... And I have yet to boot back into windows.

I swear the Deck's announcement was perfectly timed, at least for me. It was right as I was having major problems with windows and even then proton kinda just worked for me, and it's only gotten better sense!
