So, sort of like Windows?
- forrestthewoods 3y agoNot really, no. In practice Linux is radically more fragile and roughly an order of magnitude more expensive to support for two orders of magnitude fewer users.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoThe opposite of my experience (I write, build, maintain and distribute a cross-platform DAW).
- forrestthewoods 3y agoGames may hit a different set of pain points than a DAW. A lot of the Linux pain is graphics driver related. Which you could say is not a Linux problem but an AMD/Nvidia problem. But from a game developer perspective that distinction doesn’t matter.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoActually, ironically, Linux graphics driver issues are among our most major issues. Just not that that major in the overall scheme of things.
