When Gabe Newell called Linux "the future of gaming" in 2013, many in the industry were skeptical. Valve launched Steam for Linux anyway.
Fast-forward a decade: the Linux-powered Steam Deck launched, leveraging Proton to run thousands of PC titles seamlessly on SteamOS, an operating system rebuilt on an Arch Linux base.
What began as a bold bet on open source transformed handheld PC gaming forever.

LETโS NOT PLAY ON PLAYSTATION FOR ONE WEEK. ๐ฎ
Starting tomorrow, August 23 through August 30, letโs support the #PSBlackout campaign.
So for one week:
โ Donโt play on PlayStation
โ Donโt buy games
โ Donโt make in-game purchases
โ Skip PS Store purchases
โ Skip logins & purchases
โ Cancel/avoid subscriptions if you can
๐ Support physical games & preservation
The goal isnโt to hurt developers. Itโs to send Sony a clear message:
Gamers still want the choice to own their games.
If you support physical media, join the #PSBlackout from August 23โ30.
Would you participate? ๐
Sony is moving new PlayStation releases toward digital-only or code-in-box formats after January 2028.
This isnโt just about discs. Itโs about ownership, preservation and access.
If a digital store shuts down one day, what happens to the games you paid for?
Some gamers are even considering Switch 2 or PC as alternatives for long-term ownership.
No PlayStation. No Sony game purchases. No in-game spending. August 23โ30.
Would you join the #PSBlackout? ๐ฅ
