  Yeah i agree with you, but there is a limit to community support. The Steam Deck specifically has a big community, but most hobbyists don’t like to spend a ton of time maintaining.

  I believe my 11 year old Thinkpad T540p still runs mainline kernels too. The GPU is not supported by the new Intel Iris userspace driver though, so I would need to run a legacy driver that does not support vulkan. Its still packaged by Arch, but it does limit my options.

  I’d say 10 years until new games stop running with all features, and 20-30 years until it stops running mainline kernels and loses network access to Steam.

  It may work, but there are software dependencies that will become end of life. The first to go will probably be the GPU drivers. In 10 years or so, Linux will discontinue the GPU drivers and you will not be able to run the latest Linux kernel.

  So sad that they let Linux gamers play this game which lead to this cheating epidemic. Competitive Linux games like CS2 and The Finals are just filled with cheaters!

  Oh wait.
