https://www.pcbway.com - PCB fabrication, assembly, 3D printing, CNC machining & more! It seems like just a short few years ago, "Linux Gaming" was something of a punchline - but not any longer...
It’s not really fair to talk about SteamOS 2 and compare it to 3. The original concept tried console gaming and failed, because it was banking on devs porting games to native Linux. With Proton, things are a very different beast.
Windows is unlikely to be unthroned from gaming king, but Linux has grown quarter over quarter and Valve very clearly is expanding into multiple partners with Lenovo’s new SteamOS handheld.
Having a competitor in this space will hopefully get Microsoft to stop being complacent.
Honestly at this point Microsoft has a much bigger problem with people abandoning PC/laptops for smart phones and tablets, a space that they do not occupy at all. Steam/Valve is not the major problem

There are a lot of things encroaching on Microsoft these days. Death by a thousand cuts.
