PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop" (www.pcgamer.com)

I built a high end Steam machine in October. I haven’t played many Windows games since. There are games I can’t play, like Space Marine 2, but I have so much that I can play I’m kind of fine with it. Being able to PC game in the living room with an OS that is well formatted for TV play is wonderful.

Space Marine 2 no Linux?

It runs like butt. It’s optimized for Windows, apparently.

That's a shame. But hopefully by the time I'll buy it in 2 years or something on deep discount, it has better support or optimization.

That’s the thing about PC gaming, right? There’s always hope someone will figure it out.
