documentation; citing edit
Two comments. First, I don't think it's accurate to say Linux has worse documentation, indeed, the man page system is far more complete than the "Help" option of windows programs. It's just my opinion and I'm a pretty big geek so I won't reword it myself but I don't think it's an accurate criticism.
Second, while in my opinion the part about Microsoft's "Get the Facts" campaign is completely accurate (I've read the papers myself, they intentionally cripple the Linux systems), that should be cited from another source. --Calmofthestorm

Add Steam Deck and Proton in History edit
The release of the Steam Deck (using SteamOS) and Valve's Proton compatibility layer has been extremely influential in promoting Linux adoption for consumers in the gaming industry and development for the platform. TheJokingTeen (talk) 14:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
