It peaked at 4.05% in March. The last 2 months it went just below 4% as the Unknown category increased. For June the reverse happened, so 4.04% seems to be the real current share of Linux on Desktop as desktop clients were read properly/werent spoofed.

If you play games that requires anti cheat It’s gonna be harder to switch
Almost all anti-cheats work on linux or offer linux integration or builds. It’s the scummy unethical publishers who run the typical games that uses anti-cheat who refuse to pay engineers to make the minimum effort to support linux. Because it would undermine some of their bullshit claims used to manipulate their players. Fortunately for some people like myself, the typical game that requires anti-cheat is not a game they would want to play anyways.
Ohh okay I have never seen a anti cheat that supports linux
A lot of mods are also windows locked too.
Oh
Also vr support
Halflife alyx?
There’s some other good ones too, but fair point
I just found out halflife alyx is windows only but maybe proton
VR as a whole is pretty borked on Linux so far.
oh okay
