From the article :
> Linux is top-notch for software development, and quickly becoming a compelling choice for gaming thanks to Valve’s Proton and the SteamDeck. I keep telling myself I’m going to switch my PC from Windows to Linux but it hasn’t happened yet (I’m not counting dual-booting).
> It’s slowly gaining adoption which is great to see. The Windows hegemony may never be toppled but I’m rooting for Linux.
If anything i am seeing the reverse. I think windows is becoming a competent dev. OS much faster than linux is becoming a gaming/producitivity OS. Since WSL2 i am feeling less and less the pull to setup any kind of linux enviroment.
And everytime i do, the linux "jank" always pops out in surprising way. For example, 120hz@4k + fractional scaling, or any kind of HDR breaks everything last time i tried ubuntu

- soulbadguy 2y agoThe dream would be MSFT to port windows GUI/UI layer the linux kernel... boom
- bombela 2y agoFor what is worth, 120Hz@4k + fractional scaling worked out of the box for me on a t14 AMD gen2 (KDE Wayland). HDR, though, forget about it. My gaming PC is still running MS Windows, for HDR, Nvidia GPU support, and DRMs (cannot get Netflix 4k HDR outside of windows and smart tv similar stuff).
