    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.

            I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.

            But even if it did, do you seriously think legacy companies would want to support it? Linux encourages knowledge, tinkering and vendor independence which is not what these companies want. They want a locked down platform that keeps the companies safe.

        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
