In 2018 I switched to Arch Linux at home because I heard "Linux has less games". Before that I used Linux exclusively at work. To test it out I installed it on a 32GB flash drive so that I don't have the urge to install games when I'm space limited. It worked for the first 3 months. Then I got a new SSD and installed it there. A few days later proton came out and I ended up clocking in 600 hours in Warframe. The idea that linux has "no games" is an urban myth. I got scammed by Windows users.

You're conflating "less games" with "no games". Linux has less games available. (I guess a lot less but I haven't played in decades.)

If we want to be the biggest pedants we possibly can: you're confusing "less games" with "fewer games".
