For years, "The Year of the Linux Desktop" was a joke. A tech-world meme. But in 2026, the joke is over. Linux Wins, Windows is already on Life-support

Between Microsoft’s obsession with AI features, intrusive ads, & data collection in Win 11, and the sunsetting of Windows 10, gamers are fleeing to Linux in record numbers!
In this video, I break down the latest Steam Survey data showing Linux shattering records for number of users, and why my switch to Bazzite on my main rig was the best gaming decision I’ve made in years.
We also dive into the "Perfect Storm" Valve has created:
The Steam Machine: The Zen 4 powerhouse taking aim at the living room & Playstation (& Xbox... lol)
The Steam Frame: Valve’s ARM-based VR headset and the new X86-to-ARM translation layer.
Performance: Why "bloat-free" Linux is actually beating Windows in performance gaming benchmarks (even through Proton).
The "Rampocalypse" might have delayed the hardware, but the software revolution is already here. Is Windows finally becoming irrelevant for gamers?
Software mentioned:
Bazzite OS bazzite.gg
SteamOS / Proton store.steampowered.com/steamos
Windows 11 (and why it’s "Microslop") .... no link, coz YUCK ;P
