The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

    This right here is why the Linux community needs to pick a single desktop that just works for people who are switching over for gaming purposes.

    Yeah, having the choice of multiple Distros is great from a technical perspective. But most people forgot what it was like on Windows.

    Gamers are not interested in distro hopping on their first time attempt to get Linux to work.

    If we’re going to say that a benefit of Linux is the multiple distros to a new person, you had better warn them that some distros are not as easy to work with as others. Looking at the cool desktop pictures on the website is not a sign that a distro is easy to work with.

      Situation: there are 10 Linux gaming distros

      “This is ridiculous. We need to develop one universal gaming distro for people who are switching over for gaming purpose!”

      Situation: there are 11 Linux gaming distros

      Joking aside, there are already quite a handful of gaming oriented distros such as Garuda, Nobara, Batocera, Drauger, Lakka, Bazzite, Holo, etc.

      That’s where we need HoloOS but (if possible) fully open source, Lead by a major decision maker doing the QA and keeping it in one direction.
      Users could submit their fixes to make it better for everyone.
