I agree. Linux definitely has a long way before it's usable for the majority of the public for gaming. I only wanted to point that out because the myth that Linux can't play games still exists for some reason, while I'm sitting here playing every game that I want (except for those with rootkit anti-cheats. I have a VM for them).

Where in my comment do I say Linux can't play games? My comment literally doesn't make sense _unless_ linux can play games

"Linux definitely has a long way before it's usable for the majority of the public for gaming", is the crux of my comment.

Linux users on here just get very defensive when you bring up very obvious shortcomings and immediately go into "it's not that bad"-mode

A very loooong way, hence why game studios rather target Android instead, and using the NDK is anything but fun.
