Nobody uses SteamOS or Linux for gaming. It baffles me that people like you go to such lengths to push Linux for Desktop...

I tried using Linux on several occassions over the last 10-15 years. It was never easy or fun. All the GUIs felt like they were from the 90s and nothing worked out of the box. I tried Ubunutu, Mint, Arch, and a few others. My last attempt at it was ~2014. Maybe I'll hate myself enough to try Linux again in a year or two...

It baffles me when people use the "I couldn't get it to work so it obviously doesn't work for anyone" argument, even in the face of statistics that prove otherwise. Ho hum.
I suppose you should use it today, instead of making your impression on the times long ago, and claiming Linux isn't usable because of some long gone issues.
