I'm curious as to what everyone's reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I'd say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    There’s definitely a case to try gaming on Linux if you already have a reason to use it but when high end gaming is your top priority it’s come a long way but it’s still worse than windows. HDR and directstorage support are just now becoming a thing for example. And then there’s all the drivers for various peripherals that may or may not have an inferior third party solution. It’s very cool that it’s come as far as it has, and a lot of that is thanks to valve but unless you already want to use linux it’s still second best.

      Hopefully HDR & color management are coming sooner than later thanks to the new Steam Deck OLED release, they've been working on it for a while and it seems to be coming along nicely from what I've seen so far.

        Yeah watching the progress valve has made has been unreal both directly and through creating linux market share which makes other developers give a shit.
