The biggest push may indeed come from the Steam Deck. A PC in a handheld form factor, that allows you to hook it up to a monitor for a full KDE Plasma desktop experience. Very exciting. If we see a lot of people enjoy it and the Steam Deck is a success, you can be almost guaranteed that more devices will come along and slap SteamOS 3 on it and then also have a KDE Plasma desktop available.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Apparently - unless things have changed - Windows 11 needs an internet connection and a Microsoft account to set it up…
I’m just wondering at what point people ask themselves if they’re willing to share all they’re doing on their device with Microsoft. (And an even more relevant question for governments and businesses, I would’ve thought.)
Surely the age of the Linux desktop is getting closer… not just for people who haven’t got 24/7 internet or those who care about privacy.
