@atpfm After a recommendation from friends, I pulled an Intel NUC from 2016 (!) out of storage in order to set up a "family" gaming desktop for my son—emulating how things were when I was growing up in the pre-laptop era. I grabbed Bazzite, installed it, and had Minecraft and Discord going in under an hour, all presented in a very usable (if still somewhat Linux-y) desktop environment.

I can absolutely see a future where SteamOS and/or other Linux-based environments rule the roost in PC gaming.
