    I guess all valve has to do is release steam machines again and then what? Suddenly the year of the Linux desktop isn’t here?

      We’re talking about regular users having Linux as their operation system, not what happens under the hood of specialised machines. Steam machine user doesn’t run Linux, they run Steam.

        They don’t run Windows they run Explorer.

        Linux is a kernel. They run Linux.

        Or do you mean “they don’t run KDE/Gnome/LXDE”?

          What I mean, they don’t interact with the OS. They only interact with Steam app, and it basically doesn’t matter what it runs underneath. When we’re talking about users adopting Linux it doesn’t count.
