I'm going to bet your 80 year old gran isn't playing AAA games and streaming on her Linux PC.
I think you're missing the point I'm getting at. The Linux challenge was specifically a gaming challenge, or at least gaming was a significant part of the challenge and while yes, gaming has indeed come a long way in recent years (and the stream deck is helping drive that further), it still has as long way to go.
You need to separate the "what's doable" fun "what works out of the box", it's the latter that can fall down for most people and the second you have to open as terminal, you've lost the audience that we're talking about.
