====== Linux Has Finally Arrived for Everyone ====== It took a while, but Linux has finally reached a level of usability that makes it accessible to everyone. One of the biggest hurdles has always been game compatibility. But thanks to **Steam Proton**, that issue is largely resolved. Nearly every game I've tested runs smoothly. Only a few exceptions remain, mostly certain online titles. Hardware support is no longer a major concern either. Sure, there are still occasional quirks to work around, but solutions exist for almost everything. Most applications now have solid — or even superior — alternatives available on Linux distributions. Now it's up to software vendors to realign their course and make their programs compatible. In many cases, it's not even a significant challenge. And even when native support isn't available, many programs still run well via **VirtualBox**, **Winboat**, or simply through **.NET**. Linux is no longer just for enthusiasts — it's ready for the mainstream. ~~DISCUSSION~~
