MODERATORS
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.
I don't understand your negativity here
