But the steam deck really disproves the notion that Linux can’t run these games. The companies that make them choose not to support Linux, and in that way its not really Linux’s fault that the games don’t work.
Exactly this, the community has proven it will put the effort to make it work, and a lot of things that don’t still are because the companies resist it intentionally
Yeah and thats a good argument for not supporting Linux. It doesn’t make sense to support a platform that you don’t have any players on.
I’m hopeful that Valve will keep improving the Linux gaming experience, and then we will hit critical mass and a lot of gamers will be demanding Linux support.
Unfortunately there is a lack of awareness how Microsoft treats Windows for desktop PCs and notebooks and how the future strategy looks like. Otherwise many people would move away faster.
there is also other games that dont run on linux
Roblox (sober works which is a workaround),Fortnite (Tim Sweeney hates linux from what i heard),and more
