@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP I know what you mean, but the mere thought of having 70 % of gamers on Linux means that Windows starts to become a lower prio for Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Rockstar Games and even more so for indie devs. You start to feel like you are looking at the wrong audience. The big game companies will respect and see the Linux platform as the primary platform and thus they start relying less on Direct X because the performance will be lower.

@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP I have used Linux since 1998. Gaming never took off until Proton came along, so there is no other way to solve this. The sheer amount of gamers means that hardware manufacturers and exhibits will all start focusing on Linux gaming. Microsoft technologies will transition to being an Enterprise-only OS. But, does it need 70, 80, 90 % market share before Linux-native games become first-class choices? I don’t know. Sales profits will decide.
