Sadly he didn’t clarify why it’s the Linux being problem here. If there are any technical obstacles, why can’t he say something’s too broken on the Linux side of things so that community or Valve could fix it?

He means Linux problem as in: not enough players to justify supporting it, while those low amount of players also account for like 70% of the bug reports

Those bug reports are often real bugs that affect other platforms too.

Only 3 of the roughly 400 bug reports submitted by Linux users were platform specific, that is, would only happen on Linux.

Turns out, the people who are more technically proficient and use software built and maintained by a community that necessitates bug reports, report bugs more often than the "it just (sometimes) works" OS users. Who knew?
