There is a compatibility issue too. Every Windows 11 is almost identical, enough for software to run, but Linux encompasses a lot of different systems. Valve makes it work on Ubuntu and then if you’re not using Ubuntu, makes it your problem to go the rest of the way (usually pretty easy) which is a fair tradeoff but also not the plug-and-play you get with Windows. And don’t even mention X11 versus Wayland.

True but that’s far less of an issue for most mainstream distros. If it works on one Linux distro then it probably works on another or a reasonable tech person can address the missing dependencies. While I don’t love flat packs it’s one thing they do tend to solve.
