If only a giant corporation like steam made their own Linux based OS and poured huge resources into an open source compatibility layer(maybe even call It proton) that would move more people to Linux and even create more incentive for third party developers to have Linux versions of their applications because of the growing market sjare of end users using linux that would be exciting.... ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

Had valve not made its own linux based OS they would had to release this machine with windows preinstalled. Microsoft is valve competitor.
