That's very strange... it was reported at 4-5% last year too wasn't it. Rico, why is it the same percentage as then and why is the acceleration still slow?

![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/2b53bb51-d823-4cfd-bb95-364a0518657f.avif) 2023/4 was steam but it was also before Microsoft started losing their mind thinking forcing people into AI would just blow over. I expect 2026 will have a couple more percent as a load of people are trying to escape and some of them will make it. > why is the acceleration still slow? 1. There's no marketing 2. Fear. Linux used to be a lot more complicated. It has a reputation. Windows is still far better at getting you to a gui if you really fuck it up. Checkpoints on updates and safe mode save a lot of peoples bacon. 3. Game performance is still markedly slower, and anti-cheat titles are unplayable. Games are getting better, ease to install is getting better. Title availability is slowly getting better, but a lot of it is electron, so the titles themselves are getting worse. Wine/Proton is amazing and improving every day.
