   Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers

   It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld.

     @arstechnica while this is exciting news and a testament to Linux, Proton, Steam Deck, etc., I hope macOS doesn’t stay that way… I really hope the new Game Porting Toolkit results in more developers publishing on Mac.

     … and/or supporting Vulkan or letting devs use their D3DMetal translation layer 🙃.

     @arstechnica The decade of the Linux handheld started when Android became popular a decade ago.

     @arstechnica The year of Linux on the desktop is 5 years away. Always was, always will be.
     Also, the Mac is not a hand-held.
