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

    My Windows usage according to Steam went down from 62% in 2022 to 15% in 2023 and I totally expect it to go even lower than that in 2024.

    I‘ve set myself the goal of not „upgrading“ to Windows 11 on my gaming rig, so I have to get Windows down to 0% by the end of Windows 10’s support in October 2025.

    Seeing how things are currently going for Linux, I‘m really not too worried about that.

    The issue has never been that games can’t run on Linux. It has always been a simple question of “will the games I want to play run?” More than ever, that answer is yes, but if your favorite game doesn’t, or if you never want to worry about “will this upcoming (online) game let me play on Linux?” then you use Windows by default.

    Like, I love y’all, but the Linux gaming community on Lemmy is kinda insufferable with the straw-man “people think games can’t run on Linux” argument. That’s just not the issue

      I play a lot of multiplayer stuff and anti cheat on linux might be the biggest shortcoming atm.
