Tom's Hardware

Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

The number continues to grow, but growth seems to be slowing.

@pallenberg Jo, mittlerweile müssen game Developer aktiv dagegen arbeiten, dass man ihre games unter linux spielt. meistens unter dem Vorwand, dass man cheater bekämpfen will. klar, alle linux gamer sind also pauschal cheater. das meint zumindest respawn entertainment.

@pallenberg Wenn jetzt VST-Hersteller noch nachziehen und Linux-VST-Plugins machen, gibt's für mich keinen Grund mehr, irgendwas anderes als Linux zu nutzen.

@pallenberg What's more, the 10% which does not work, is all logistical rather than technical, i.e. games using EAC which DOES work with Linux but companies choose not support (like Epic Games itself).

Gets even better when you realize there's a number of games which work in linux but do not work in windows anymore, too. Windows itself cannot claim 100% of games work with it.

@pallenberg Been with linux *specifically* for video games since 2000. I got into Linux entirely because the Linux version of Quake 3 was $5 at microcenter in 2000 when the PC version was still $40. Linux has been my daily driver ever since. I've had a front row view of how linux gaming has evolved, and believe me when I say I very honestly thought we'd never get here. People outright don't realize how insane this all is today. Outstanding work.

@GabeMoralesVR oh I hear you and yes, I remember the times when Quake 3 created this amazing buzz around gaming and Linux. To finally see that it all became a reality.. this is absolutely amazing

@pallenberg It's crazy to me that Ryan Gordon is *still* making great things happen in Linux. What a community.
