Building a machine that does everything is coming to a household near you! The rest of us, well we've been building custom gaming machines for one or two games for a long time.

The tooling is just getting better everyday. I don't think Windows gaming will ever die but I think the experience has gotten bad enough that people have begun seeking alternatives. If this wasn't true I don't think that the SteamDeck would be so successful.

With that being said, I don't tell everyone to try Linux. I do think that Linux is good for gaming but just hard to use for most gamers. I'll probably buy a steam deck OLED in March just to "do my part" even though I have far too many custom machines and not enough time to enjoy playing the games.

I mostly play old games that struggle even in windows sadly. I'll probably need a windows machine or VM until I die.

65% Linux, 19% VR and 16% Windows on my end, glad I contributed :3

Until your obscure GPU driver said no and spend weeks trying to fix it but nothing work except getting called an idiot on stack overflow

Ever since I built my new PC a few months ago, my chart would be completely purple. I mostly play Indie games though, and they seem to have better Linux support

Same here, I only had to run BG3 on Windows (in a VM) for very specific reasons tied to my setup.
