According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2% marketshare but at that time the Steam customer size in absolute numbers was much smaller a decade ago than it is now. So if the percentage numbers are accurate, this is likely the largest in absolute terms that the Linux gaming marketshare has ever been.

    Try XanMod kernel and ProtonGE - I’ve had great performance and stability and been using those for couple years now with steam Linux gaming

      If it doesn’t work on stock Idk if I trust a random what I assume is a kernel mod

      Protonge was only marginably better and it only worked like that through lutris
