Linux passing 5% is a major milestone, good to see Linux thrive. 👍 😎 Part of the jump at least appears to be explained by Valve correcting again the Steam China numbers I wonder why there needs to be special correction for China, but I’m guessing it’s about some sort of bots probably farm bots. If anyone knows more please share your knowledge.

I mean yeah? As a PC gamer what are you supposed to use? Fucking… Windows? I know some people still manage to tolerate paying Microsoft for an operating system that serves popup ads, popunder ads, inline ads, bundles spyware, bundles adware, bundles malware, and literally spies on you. They either manage to filter all that out or tolerate having to spend time turning it off or mitigating it every two weeks/months when an update introduces more of it. They angrily cope. They say things like “what is so hard about just clicking Close / Ignore on a few buttons!?” when this is pointed out. But they grow fewer and fewer. Macs are mostly valid but expensive. If work doesn’t pay for one, or you have another big hobby that makes Mac a necessity, buying one for gaming is a bit silly.
