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.

I've trying to move my main desktop over to Linux for years, and getting a Steam Deck was the last thing to convince me. It's been about 8 months now and I won't got back to Windows.

The only exception is the few Forza games I "own" on the Microsoft store, but that's around every other month at best. Really hope the popularity of the Stream Deck can get support for them.
