This really won't change much. I get that linux gamers have been left out for a long time, and want more inclusion, but it's just not going to happen. As for the steam deck, I doubt most people using it even realize it's linux. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago I doubt most people using it even realize it's linux. You say that with zero realization of how that indicates a huge step forward for Linux. The day it can be used by people who don't know what it is without caring is a huge step toward ubiquity. it's just not going to happen Is an ignorant guess and nothing more. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 1984@lemmy.today 6 points 3 years ago* (1 child) I'm super fine with 2-3%.

I just don't think this news is as big as it's purporting to be. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 3 years ago Yeah the numbers are tiny so I see your point of view. But I'm also aware what happens if Linux becomes very popular - then you get tracking, ads, corporate controls and so on. I think we are right in the sweet spot now. permalink fedilink source parent
