    Microsoft owns most gaming PCs, too, with Windows which is increasingly ad-ridden. The existence of some Linux-based alternatives is still a small percentage compared to Microsoft’s dominance here.

      Yeah, they really ought to be getting cracked down upon by governments for their monopoly on desktop computing.

      Simply opening directX would solve a lot of problems with gaming.

      Almost every game I’ve tried to run on steam on linux, has worked. (though tbf, I don’t play multiplayer games).

        I agree in principle. I’ve used Wine for games for a long time. Popular games usually worked even 15 years ago.
