Steam Top 50 Games: Over 70% now work on Linux

Re:Steam Top 50 Games: Over 70% now work on Linux by noasaservice on Saturday September 11, 2021 @01:27PM (#28493842)

My primary and only justification for using windows is games (the 30% from the article).

I do real work with Linux.

But again, I've purchased windows hundreds of times, many of those being forced "purchases" due to smoky-back-of-room deals with OEMs. Frankly, MS exhausted all of my goodwill ages ago, and I've yet to see a real change in those underlying tactics.

A good point.

MS has "sold" a fair bunch of licenses that have gone unused.

I'll keep buying licenses if I use it - and keep telling people that Linux has been usable for ordinary people the last decade, is faster, more exciting and collect less data about you and your family.

PS: MS employees here, your company really had the chance to be the serious choice but after getting ads on Professional licensed machines I just don't believe the marketing anymore.

Funny, I stopped believing the marketing after Windows 98 and The Halloween Papers.
