Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%

The latest Windows update that rolled out a few days ago literally bricked my Surface.
I had the same CPU & RAM load running before and after the update. After, even Task Manager wasn’t responding!
Next paycheck, I think I’m buying a Framework

Why not just use linux on your current device

I can’t replace the battery easily, or any component in a Surface. Microsoft products get the worst repair score from iFixit. I’ve been wanting a Framework as my daily driver for a while now so I can make repairs as I need them over time (or even make upgrades in the case of the 17" product).
I don’t think I’ll get rid of the laptop tho. Can probably add Linux to it and use it as a server. Right now though, I don’t have the time for that. I want something out of the box that will work play-and-play

Have you considered booting up a live USB to try it out?

Any guides for how to do that?
