Yeah bro, the 4% is reaaally worth it. Linux bros cope so hard. Just enjoy your tinkering instead of acting like you're such a big deal not missing out
In most of the cases playing game is as easy ad on windows.
On Steam, there is Linux support on about 10 000 of the 70 000 games. So it is definitely not most.
That's a kinda bad statistic to use. Most games don't get lots of attention. And since only a fraction of players use Linux even more games don't get played by Linux players. Those who play also have to make reports on proton, and not everyone does that.
If you really want to know about Linux compatibility, search for the stats of the protondb database. Only 13% are below silver( they either have a bronze rating or are borked).
where did you get this stat? Do you mean "working" or "verified"? VERY FEW games in my steam library don't work out of the box. I forget to check when I buy them, they work that consistently
Cite your sources.
Given that the global desktop OS market is estimated to be around 1.23 billion users, 4.03% of the entire global market is approximately 49.3 million users and exponentially growing. And that's excluding ChromeOS which accounts for another 2% and Unknown; which likely includes a significant number of Linux users; at 6%.
Linux jumped from 3% to 4% in just the last 8 months. Linux could potentially surpass the 5% market share milestone by the end of 2024 given the current trajectory of growth.
