Vamos!
SteamDeck is chad.
The topic of market share, and ports and lack of them, are nuanced but I highly doubt Linux won’t overtake macOS even more each year unless Apple wakes up. Valve and Linux community are a force to be reckon with. There are other individuals in the scene as well, who are chipping away at improving the gaming ecosystem, such as System76, Redhat and Canonical.
Gaming is the only reason I still bother to install windows on desktop PCs.
I’ve been gaming on Linux for a while now. The pace of improvement in Proton has been staggering since the steam deck was released. I noticed the other day that I’ve gotten so used to games just working now that I don’t even bother to check to protonDB before I purchase. I’m sure that won’t bite me any time soon -_-
I usually check PCGW first, because the issues with most games are usually cross-platform.
Just in time to exit Windows due to their “telemetry” programs.
I’m so happy that I never have to use that dog shit OS ever again, or any of their software for that matter.
And yet some developers decide to pour over resources to make a MacOS native port over a Linux port
People who buy Macs probably have money and are willing to spend it.
This is awesome. As someone that games on all 3 platforms, I’m happy to see that Linux usage has gone up so rapidly, even if it is only because of the steamdeck. It’s a great way to introduce people to the wonders of Linux! And yes I do game on my MacBook. The sims lol, it is actually nice to have SOMETHING to play when I feel like not working. And a surprising # of my favorite games work on Mac wonderfully like cities skylines and the 2 point games and many more. I’m always happy when any platform other than windows can play games as collectively these smaller platforms need to dethrone windows, in my opinion.
Everybody knows that the one true game on Mac is Apple Chess. That’s why hardly anyone makes ARM Mac games: the competition is just too stiff.
and there was much rejoicing!
