@gamingonlinux For the average consumer? The Steam Deck. While a lot of people may never see desktop mode, I use it extensively at least 3-4 days a week as a daily laptop.
It's not the strongest laptop I could bring, but it's strong enough for every day use. I'm learning to love what Arch Linux and KDE can offer!
@gamingonlinux Steam Deck as others previously have stated and as a storage/virtualization admin I'd also like to mention infrastructure solutions like OpenStack and Ceph helping us all keep up with the ever increasing needs of computing and volume 💪
Not only because it‘s a great device in itself, but because it led to big publishers like Sony, ActiBlizz and EA actually optimizing their games for a Linux based device.
The whole handheld PC gaming niche is a great way for Linux to get a foothold in the consumer market, partly because Windows is such a pain to use on a handheld device.
Linux gaming was already in a good spot before the Deck arrived, but now I think it has really taken off.
@CenturyAvocado@gamingonlinux Yeah, I'm right with you now. I haven't run Linux on the desktop since Mandrake was a thing, but Windows 11 may have pushed me over the edge.
@vegetarianzombie@gamingonlinux If it helps, I was after a experience as similar as possible to Windows with "Fancy Zones" (MS Powertoys).
I've pretty much found Pop!_OS with gSnap and Dash to Panel extensions to be great.
#FedoraAtomic leveraging container images for the host system, allowing us to reuse the OCI ecosystem to compose and distribute customizable yet very stable Linux OSs for workstations and more
@gamingonlinux Yeah, containers->WSL2 is probably a good one. Or Steam Deck? Big companies (EA, Bethesda, Ubisoft, ...) caring about Linux+Proton compatibility?
