From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Steam Deck was a huge W for Linux gaming.
I just want to be able to buy them from reputable merchants in Australia
Can't you just buy it from Steam? Or used?
Not from steam no, used yes.
I'd consider a second hand one if I found a good deal, plus a long drive to collect.
ROG Ally for example I can go down to the hifi store and they have them. I'm waiting to see also how the software support evolves.
