Okay, sure—if you check the Steam Hardware Survey, Linux machines make up only a bit above 1% of all Steam users. That number’s set to rise soon, though.

I wonder why years old articles show up in my feed from time to time.
Lemmy bug or bot activity?It’s an issue with hot and when somebody comments it now also shows on active.
We’re at 1.45% now!
Thanks so its basically bullshit. I’m happy with the direction everything is going but it’s not there yet.

It’s more than double that now.
The Steamdeck proved that pretty well.
Windows shills and mainstream gamers will still imagine up some crap about how games acktchuyally don’t work. You see it on R*ddit right now in the equivalent thread.
The same people who wonder why triple-A titles suck yet keep pre-ordering them. There’s no winning with these folk.
I’ll keep playing games just fine on my Kubuntu installation, lol.
Its pathetic. 76% of the top 1k games run at gold or better.
The way redditors talk about Linux youd think the only games were Halo or Apex.

For them that might be true. There are people with a very narrow horizon which can’t do without some “essential” (to them) games.

pc no long means just windows as both linux and apple operating system cut microsoft’s capitalism wrists
True. I won’t talk about the stats but it’s been a long time since I wanted to dayly drive Linux, but my gaming habits kept bringing me back to windows. But this year for the first time, I switched and didn’t looked back !
It’s annoying to see so many people complaining about billionaires and Bill Gates in particular, but still using Windows and other Microsoft products
I feel you, but also keep in mind that these people are victims as well. The reasons not to switch are getting fewer and fewer, but they still exist and those in power intend on fighting to keep it that way.
It’s a shame, but changing the status quo isn’t really a matter of convincing more people to switch (though it certainly won’t hurt)…if anything, they’re the ones missing out.
xCloud also making a dent on this front. Signed up a week ago and so far loving it.
