That just not true. "All Linux users dual boot" where's your data to say that? "Nobody compiles for Linux" factually false, many of the most-played games on steam are Linux-native, and most others run flawlessly on Proton.
And 1.2% is slightly more than half the mac market share on steam. Should mac users also be ignored?
- faho 5y ago>"Nobody compiles for Linux" factually false, many of the most-played games on steam are Linux-native, and most others run flawlessly on Proton. The games that run on proton have not been compiled for linux.
- homarp 5y agolinux native + proton means "some compiles for Linux[1], the rest either tests on proton (steamdeck should increase that segment at least) or does not care" [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28978086 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28978086
- gnulinux 5y agoE.g. factorio is compiled for linux.
- faho 5y agoYes, linux-native games exist. But games that run on linux via proton have not been compiled for linux, so mentioning them as a counter-argument to games not being compiled for linux makes no sense. The broader context here is TFA rejecting the "steam runtime" idea, and for proton-based games proton is that runtime! They don't need anything from the system because proton/wine provides it.
