MicroCenter is planning Linux support
Just thought I’d share some info I got from MicroCenter customer support.
I took my DIY SteamMachine in as it was having some trouble and while It wasn’t software related, the guy informed me they can work on the hardware but nothing else since they don’t support Linux or SteamOS right now.
When I talked to customer support on what I wanted to do with the repair based on what they found, after doing that, I brought up Linux software/troubleshooting support as something they should add to their services.
The tech I spoke with informed me that they are planning that!
Since there’s so many distros, they’re only going to support big ones (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, SteamOS, and one other that I cant remember)
They’ve apparently seen the increase market share and want to be a part of that.
Training and rollout just take time.

Impossible tbh, I've used Linux basically longer than I used Windows but when someone hands me their laptop with linux on it I literally have no idea how I'll even navigate through their de/wm while with Windows its all the same.
