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

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

      I’m more concerned with native Linux ports often being worse than windows in terms of performance and support, succumbing to disrepair years later
