Modern Linux is amazing, just jyi

Is it really a valid option for people outside the tech industry who don't know programming and who play PC games?

That's an honest question, not a snide question.

Generally, you don't need to know any programming in order to install and get most mainstream distros working on your machine. Most apps/drivers are one click installs. PC Gaming is still the kicker. There are some compatibility issues, but more and more games work as time progresses.

I would say though that it's not really a great choice unless you are already pretty tech savvy. And these days, less and less people seem to even know how to actually use a computer, let alone one that runs Linux.
