Even though this is mostly because of the Steam Deck, it's still great news. More people get to try out Linux and find out how good the support for gaming on Linux is nowadays. Some may even feel compelled to switch to it on their main machine, especially after Microsoft drops Windows 10 support and forces everyone to upgrade to Windows 11 (which, while certainly better now, still feels like a downgrade IMO).

Agreed, and as a side not the steam deck is actually fucking awesome.
