Honestly Linux market share doesn’t matter much.

With that being said Linux can be used however you see fit as long as you aren’t violating licensing

Unless your game bans you from playing because you’re on Linux, then market share matters a ton

Gaming has nothing to do with Linux. I wish that we could just move on from that. It isn’t the fault of Linux or anyone in the community that some companies choose to ban from you to running there software. Market share is unlikely to cause major changes.

If it was 50% market share, nobody would ignore Linux

@possiblylinux127 @iopq
in reality, gaming on Linux became since a long time way better than on winlol, and Mesa & CodeWeavers are actively working to make it better every day, the problem comes from developers, mainly kernel-level anticheat, according to members on the fediverse or one of the communities I follow on fb, it all comes down to a simple checkbox if you want the game to allow running on Linux or nay, so the blame falls down to stupid devs not the OS

I want to move to Linux but the value proposition for game pass is too damn good, I haven’t bought games the last 3 years because the last 5 games that I bought all got into game pass. It’s like they have this one executive that has the same taste as me.

I’ll stick with windows for gaming (sadly) until my financial situation improves ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

My daughter uses game pass on Linux. I think she streams it though.
