    We already know that the Linux-based SteamOS is the king of handheld
    PC gaming. But now here’s another area where a Linux-based gaming
    platform runs Windows games better than Windows itself -- the living
    room <https://www.theverge.com/games/761025/framework-desktop-bazzite-linux-steam-machine-pc-game-console-impressions>.

    We keep joking about “the year of the Linux desktop”, but the very
    concept of “desktop” keeps getting nibbled away as Linux finds new
    market segments to take away from Windows. Microsoft gave up on
    Windows Media Center years ago, because it couldn’t compete with more versatile Linux-based Kodi boxes. Now Linux is also bringing PC gaming
    to that same part of the home, and Windows is going to struggle
    indeed, to stage any kind of comeback.
