Just nine. I can find so much more quickly. And they don't even mention the most creepy malware ones like all the sypware that is integrated into Windows and all the "AI" slop junk. At this point Linux, especially with the superb KDE Plasma desktop runs circles around Windows.

Yeah hat would be awesome. Some RISC-V processor or something like that. A man can dream :)

Or already is in form of many freely available gaming Linux distributiuons like CacjyOS, Nobara, Bazzite... not 100% exactly the same but still 99% there already so no need to wait for SteamOS.

Same. Gaming exclusively on Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed) for the last 2 years or so and also loving the Steam Controller.

Yeah I can feel you. I built mine just a few months before that terrible "AI" slop bubble scam hypte started. The only mistake I regret now is that I only went with 32 GiB of memory and said to myself I can upgrade later to 64 GiB if I need more. Well luckily most of the time I don't but yeah sometimes it could come in handy. Not for games but for other work. Ah well, still happy I was lucky to do it before the AIpocalypse

No need to wait and buy anything. Try any gaming focused Linux distributions and you can already have this. Check out CachyOS, Nobara, Bazzite ...

And since for AMD it is an open source driver Valve can also hack on it and squeze more performance out of it for their own specific hardware configuration.

Yup it is Arch Linux, that basically boots into Steam client with Big Picture mode. And if you switch to desktop mode you get a standard Linux with KDE Plasma desktop environment.

AKA kernel-level rootkit spyware, a big security malware that should never exist anywhere.
