Next up: Could SteamOS 3 be coming to a desktop gaming rig near you?

I never considered one of the windows-based portables. In fact when I saw that the steamdeck was linux based and was well received, I jumped.

Once I saw how well it worked, I stopped dual-booting my laptop and get to live in linux all the time.

If the article is correct and the market is starting to push this way, that is great news for linux, linux-gaming, and everyone.
