How is 2% exciting? This tells me linux gaming will never really be a thing, as 98% of gamers are elsewhere. Also, arent the majority of that 2% due to the steam deck?
It’s a milestone and it shows quick progress. And yes, a lot of that 2% is the Steam Deck but that’s the point. The Steam Deck is putting Linux gaming in the literal hands of people who wouldn’t normally use Linux and as it gains in popularity, we can expect the Linux percentage to go even further up.
Also 2% doesn’t sound like much but it was enough for MacOS to start getting native ports of games. We’re already seeing plenty of games now getting Linux ports or at least being tuned to work with Proton at near native compatibility and performance.
Well, in this case it passed up the second place as far as i’m aware. And developers paid a little more attention fo macOS. Not a lot, but it’s an improvement.

I don’t understand your negativity here
