I did my part, I declined the survey because I was temporarily on a Windows partition when it asked.
I was on my Windows disk temporarily and still accepted. Felt bad afterwards, but also I wanted game devs to know there are still people using 6 core CPUs lol
In the past I’ve counted for both Linux and Mac OS though. I’m chaotic
Are we looking at different surveys? 6 core CPUs ate literally the most popular choice RN
Ah yeah I don’t know anyone with under 8 which is why I’m trying to keep the 6 cores represented while I’m still using it. Keep the averages low so devs don’t start optimizing everything for 12 or more cores lol
True, each os is counted each time. Not sure if my own custom build is interesting to them. Think they care about 8 hard drives? Lol
Surely the average user has 3 SSDs too
The only thing stopping me from migrating is 90% of my Steam library isn’t available on Linux. I’m stuck on Windows for my main
Edit: Thank you everyone! Last time I checked was about 6 months ago, I didn’t give Proton a proper shot and I will be glad to migrate fully!
Have you tried using proton yet? I know it’s not the same as games them native, but the compatibility list is growing pretty quick, it’s probably better than 10%.
What games do you have? Most of my games work great with steams proton. Only some multiplayer games with some anticheat are not supported. I think from my ~260 Games +90% are working Check out protondb.com
Have you checked recently? I like to use ProtonDB. Unless you only play games with kernel-level anti-cheat, most of your games should run fine with Steam’s built-in Proton compatibility tool. I rarely find a game I cannot play.
It’s truly a non-issue, unless we’re talking competitive multiplayer games. The only single player game I can think of that I’ve had Linux-related problems with since I switched my desktop over a couple years ago has been the new Indiana Jones game, and that was patched within a week of launch. Proton makes it brain-dead easy. I have a pretty big library and not many games have official support, but they just work with Proton. I don’t do any tinkering with custom proton builds or anything either. On a fresh Steam install, you have to go into settings once to enable Proton in games that haven’t been tested with it, but then you just forget about it and play like you would on Windows.
Thank you! I’ll give it a proper shot, including enabling that setting. So good to know :)
Unless 90% of your games use kernel ac, I don’t really know what kind of games you’re playing
That seems high. I’ve got >500 games on steam and I know for sure I’ve got well over 10% that will work.

Then just use Windows. Right tool for the right job.
Sure, if the “job” is spying and the “tool” is the user.
