I started using Linux at tge end of last year when I built myself a new gaming PC. Had enough of Windows telemetry and wanted to start taking small steps to improve my digital privacy. Ditching Windows for Linux is the easy part.
Valve has fone wonders in making gaming on linux relatively frictionless all things considered and for that, I (and i believe a lot of people) am grateful. It gives us a choice in OS. Yes, Steam can be considered “DRM” but at least it’s better than Denuvo or EAC. Steam works on Linux without having to jump through hoops.
Also, Steam family sharing is awesome. I can let my partner / family play my games when I am working and they are not.
