A good UI/UX is what Linux needs most to get people to switch. Valve has the money to pour into actually making something people want to use. Now I just hope the desktop release gets the same polish.

Linux has plenty of good UIs… KDE, Budgie, XFCE, Cinnamon, GNOME, etc. Literally no shortage of desktop environments.

It needs a decent UX, but most importantly it needs binary compatibility. No pleb will compile from source.

That too, but I don’t expect that to be a problem after it’s been out for more than a few weeks.

Currently it’s based off of Arch right? Are there many compatibility issues with its current form?
