According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2% marketshare but at that time the Steam customer size in absolute numbers was much smaller a decade ago than it is now. So if the percentage numbers are accurate, this is likely the largest in absolute terms that the Linux gaming marketshare has ever been.

    Did you just wake up today and decide to be an asshole, or is this your usual temperament?

      -311 comment points in 8 days. Clearly their usual temperament.

      It’s festering toxicity like that user displays that turns developers away from Linux. Would you want support tickets from someone like them?

      I also found it hilarious they linked a wiki I’ve been contributing to for years hahaha.
