If that was the case, why doesn't Valve support Fedora or RHEL/CentOS, but Canonical's Ubuntu?

- shmerl 9y agoBecause Valve assume majority of users are using Ubuntu or derivatives. Which doesn't contradict what I said above. RedHat developers contribute a lot to Mesa. Canonical isn't exactly known to do that.
- jhasse 9y agoIf the majority of Linux gamers use Ubuntu, that means that Canonical has something to do with gaming on Linux ;)
- shmerl 9y agoSomething yes, but not improving it directly. Besides, Ubuntu proper isn't even the most used distro probably. Mint is likely more used. My point is, those who work on Mesa (OpenGL / Vulkan) and Linux graphics stack have way more direct impact of Linux gaming (they are fixing bugs that affect games, improve performance, add new functionality and so on).
