why aren't game producers releasing versions of the game compiled for debian ubuntu and other lInux distros?
Too much effort for too little market share. But since the Steam Deck is popular, it's harder to ignore Linux.
Yeah, 1.63% is really not a lot at all (according to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey: September 2023). Tbh from a pure business point of view I'm surprised any of the bigger developers bother at all.

Microsoft created directx and its been an integral part of game dev since, not the only reason as I'm sure if Linux had a large market share we'd see devs jumping over
