(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

Because more people playing on Linux means more games get published for Linux, which is an outcome we want.

    Gonna have to get in line behind consoles first. PC gamers have been around for years, still at the bottom of the list when games get published. So....what's the point in saying "play on Linux because games also work here" when publishers don't care?

    Well, at least get partity with Windows. It's unlikely to get Rockstar to launch on PC first, but it might mean more MP games work well on Linux.

    All I want is for enough people to use Linux so devs care enough to remove roadblocks for Linux, such as anti-cheat. I don't expect Linux to overtake Windows or anything, I just want my selection to not be limited just because I'm running Linux.

    More like play on Linux because windows gets more bugs,bloat, and built in spying every version and if I had the kind of money to afford the whole collection of apple products you inevitably end up with when chosing that path, I would have had kids instead and not been dumped by my ex for being born into a poor family and failing to gain anything from working other than worse health and not even breaking even financially. Linux is free too. Free is my favourite price.
