      Valve has made Linux gaming so much better with launch of Proton and Steam Deck and maybe they will release Steam Machine, Steam Os for everyone and Steam Deckard for Standalone Vr(which can be connected to pc/Steam Machine for pcvr).

        Lol , too bad, too late Microsoft. The train has left years ago , when you decided that gaming should be equal to TV reality show streaming (or worse-watching sport events)

                  Windows is my favorite alongside with an Android phone. No any compatibility issues.

                            When your games are on rental mode (Gamepass), you'd really rake in the money lol. Now we wait for subscription based Windows 12 in partnership with Neuralink from Elon. The implant kills you if you're behind your SaaS payments.
