Linux has become genuinely user-friendly for desktop use, especially for gaming. Distros like Bazzite make it easy to run games without command-line knowledge, often matching or exceeding Windows performance through Valve's Proton. Steam's Linux user base hit 3.2%, surpassing Mac. The main appeal is ownership and control—no forced AI features, bloatware, or upselling. While HDR support and some anticheat software remain issues, they're improving. Linux offers a viable alternative for users tired of Windows feeling like rented software rather than something they truly own.

I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

Kernel-level anti-cheat problem remains.

When author says they’re brave enough to say Linux is good, makes me realize I
<ul>
<li>Actually don’t care</li>
<li>I’m too surrounded by other Linux users that I didn’t even think this was debatable</li>
</ul>

Every year they say this. Makes me realize linux is never going to be anything but niche.

2023 was the year of (my) Linux desktop.
Much recommends.
