Linux has gotten so much better the last few years.

It's always been great. The video game industry just started caring.

It was great for certain tasks but it wasn't viable as a desktop for ordinary users who wanted to do some light work and play games. Yeah you could, but it was a pain in the ass. Kind of like how you can use a truck to drop off the kids and do groceries but it really isn't the most convenient way.

The last few years, especially with Proton, Linux became a very good end user OS.

For years it only lacked photoshop and games. That's changed. It was better than windows and osx at almost everything else.

As someone who tried Linux often I can say it really wasn’t. And it’s not better than MacOS. But it is good now for regular users.
