some people experience crash on linux where stable on windows.
FUD much? I’m not saying it’s not true… but like the opposite has to be true too. So without actual data to say it’s significant it’s really just not help much in any way, just creating doubt.
very few games represent the majority of gametime, and a lot of them do not run on linux.
So 3/10, and 2 of them are made by valve with an explicit orientation toward Linux. Because I’m unemployed, I computed playtime of those games²:
Counter-Strike 2 : 36,07 %
Dota 2 : 21,54 %
Battlefield™ 6 : 10,46 %
ARC Raiders : 8,16 %
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS : 6,78 %
Path of Exile : 4,08 %
Rust : 3,93 %
Banana : 3,24 %
R.E.P.O. : 3,08 %
Bongo cat : 2,67 %
Tbf, I didn’t expect that Linux Games represent ~ 50% of playtime of the top 10. This quite impressive, and it does underline an interesting trend. However, I think a lot of people use their personal experience to other, with no regards for the social contexte. I got 3 different computers, I’m used to Linux, and I couldn’t play to almost every games. Because I’m too poor to get the right hardware, because my friends do not play on compatible games, and gaming is a social experience. My point is not that we shall not make FOSS propaganda’ my point is that software need to be produce regarding the need of the people in our diversity in order to make FOSS mainstream. Everybody is not in IT, in the US with a engineer wages.
That should make more than half of the top 10 games compatible in Linux. Unless it needs to be native for compatible, but I don’t have a problem with proton as long as it’s enough to select the latest proton version to be able to play.
