I can't tell if you're joking so I'll assume not. Windows is still by far the de facto gaming OS. Mac and Linux cannot handle games like Windows can.

Consoles and iOS/Android are by far the dominant gaming OSes. PC gaming isn't even all that huge slice of video gaming, let alone computer usage as a whole.

It's good to keep in mind that games like League of Legends alone have over 100 million monthly players. While I agree that mobile is far bigger (especially thanks to Asian countries), PC's slice is too big to ignore. And just going by Steam numbers, seems to be actively growing each year.

There are very few games I cannot play on my Linux/Steam box with AMD hardware. Everything just works out of the box, I just click play.

Good for you? Let me know when DCS runs on Linux consistently without issue. Or, like, literally any VR system.

I’m getting constant stuttering in Win11 and have tried just about everything to fix it. They have this weird memory compaction thing running, and constant virus scans, and I don’t know what else. It’s been a total nightmare and for now I’ve quit gaming.
