From the article

Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

game developers and publishers are hesitant to enable Linux compatibility,

And I am hesitant to spend money on their games.

running linux is a great way to automatically filter out most of the shit games, if it won't even run in proton then you generally have to be doing some bullshit with the code and thus aren't worth my time and certainly not my money.

The VR community is a fairly small niche market

We are small but still exists...

Once there is a way to properly play VR games without too much configuration, I will jump back to Linux. But for now, Windows 11 IOT edition is not too bad. Specifically the IOT edition without all the telemarketing and CoPilot crap.
