    tbf, data shows that less than 60% valve games release this year runs on linux with no issue and 30% runs with major or minor issues. This stat is stables for years, so we could generalize it; however it do not represents actual gamers experience; very few games represent the majority of gametime, and a lot of them do not run on linux.

    Moreover, when the hardware hardly meet the requirements, some people experience crash on linux where stable on windows.

      do not represents actual gamers experience

      My experience gaming on Linux the past few years is that I have not encountered a single game that hasn’t worked. And 90%+ work with no tinkering whatsoever.

      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.

      Same, which ones? What’s your dataset?
