Why do posters say that increase in Linux Steam share doesnt count becuase its mostly steam deck users? - eviltoast

It’s not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too.

Mostly a stab at Reddit PCMR, Lemmy PCMR has a different vibe.

    True, but there isn’t really much of a discussion of users moving TO windows, as using windows is, on a broader scale, the de facto default.

    I’m curious how the linux share would be today if no PC ever was sold with a preinstalled OS.

        No, because I’m not making an argument for or against something, I’m pointing out that the discussion at hand is moot because there are two different goals being argued towards. Apples and oranges.

          Well, you’re arguing against the OP’s title of the thread.

          Edit: Weer een mooie reden om nog een andere arrogante en domme Hollander te blokkeren hier 😅 En je bent je comments aan het veranderen alsof niemand dat doorheeft.

          Edit2: At this point I’m just gonna block this right wing community and their abuse.

            No. If you look carefully you will notice that the title is a question (hint: there’s a question mark at the end). I joined a conversation that sought to answer that question. You, however, seem to be after an argument, in which case I suggest you find someone else. Especially if you want it in dutch as I do not speak the language.

            Edit: Lol, what the fuck
