It finally happened. Linux gamers on Steam as of the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for October 2025 have crossed over the elusive 3% mark.

    The biggest impediment at this point is anti-cheat. Can’t play many AAA games because of that. That said, I primarily game on Linux and only have a small windows partition to play such games.

      Personally any game that requires a rootkit in order to play is not a game I’m interested in, from either a gameplay or a security point of view.

        I wouldn’t know from a gameplay point of view because it’s not worth finding out. There are plenty of good games
