This is huge! Just slightly less than “Unknown”!
Those are people who know how to evade data collection. We count those as ours.
The year of the Linux desktop™ finally arrived! 😅
tbh. the only thing holding me back from using linux on my daily driver, is anti cheat support. If faceit had a linux client, i would jump immediately
I think that’s a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)
It’s interesting to look at the stats in detail by region.

India is at like 13.7% Linux which pulls the average up a lot. In the USA and western Europe we are still under 3%, kind of.
But still, I’m happy for so many users escaping Microsofts claws.
I would love to one day switch over completely to Linux. Microsoft has got me trapped with their games.

check this out later, who knows, maybe you’re not as bound as you think you are to windows
I’m quite the gamer and run into very few issues gaming on linux these days. Proton is a game changer. The only real issues are if you’re trying to run the latest AAA game at peak performance, or games with certain anti-cheat. But I would say more than half of the anti-cheat games still just work for me.
Or if a company decides for some cursed reason to use windows media codecs for their game’s cutscenes.
One day ill get to play kingdom hearts on linux with all the cutscenes. That day is not today.
Interesting, I guess there’s licensing issues for steam/proton to distribute the proprietary codecs? Seems like there should still be a way via unofficial means.
Did a quick search, have you seen this?
