These charts are seriously out of date though. Five years in the current economic climate? Might as well be ancient history.

For whatever reason idsoft has not been licensing their engine for a long while. AFAICT it's not that "nobody's buying", it's that "they're not selling".

Release a single player game day 1 on freaking gamepass, and then wonder why the sales numbers aren't happening. Galaxy brains over at MS are something special.

Yeah, cool, but right now they're axing idsoft, which was anything but "artistic vision over fun gameplay". What they did also pretty much kills idtech as a viable engine.

Ah but now you're just imagining things when it's simple to check. OP is, or at least claims to be, a midwesterner in his own comments.

Even not touching the laughable sample size for both studies - almost halved sample size between 2025 and 2026? Sounds like a massive selection bias, and not in the way they're implying.

EU? It's mostly happening elsewhere though. See: Australia. See: California. See: KIDS act. See: KOSA. Sounds like denial or tunnel vision.

Having used it a few months back, it certainly feels like it was made decades ago. UX is horrid all around.

Running old software. Like, late 90s to early 00s. Most of the time I can get them to work reasonably well under Win10, but wine keeps failing (and don't get me started on proton). Plus, godawful midi support cripples many dosbox exp

Linux hasn't reached the point where it can be the main driver, not for my usecases. Everything works until very suddenly it doesn't and there's no budging.

That's entirely orthogonal to the fact that Americans thend to label literally anything and everything they don't like as communist. Especially any sort of social(ist) policy good for the people and bad for the 1%.

Back in the day it would be great, but in current day, what could I possibly run on my 020 system that would make Linux preferable over the system's original OS and its dedicated (possibly FOSS) software?

Good ol' It's A Computer (tm) font. A good while back I've been using Westminster in every piece of UI I wrote for myself. Maybe I should start doing that again.
