(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)
I would have played on Linux a bit more if I had enough space on my partition. Good thing I recently updated to 2 terabytes!
Damn, mine also has a Windows slice this year because one of the games I was playing with my wife didn't run well enough on the Deck so we played it on her desktop. It runs on Linux, it's just that it was a bit on the heavy side for the deck so the fps were bad and her desktop was already plugged to the TV
Why are you using Windows for BG3? I've been using Pop!_OS and it runs perfectly.
The only game I play on Windows nowadays is Rocksmith 2014. That's because, due to the nature of the hardware, it is a bitch to setup even on Windows. Proton just isn't having any of it.
Linux wasn’t very good for gaming in 2016 when I first tried it. Then I tried again in 2023 and only switch back because I can’t get foundry to be easy on my arch based system, so like 3 hours every other week and for the least intensive thing I run.
It's a mix of baby duck syndrome and conformism.
I wonder if that's why I like FreeBSD so much. I grew up with Windows, but someone in high school (old guy at the local community college I attended at the time) encouraged me to try FreeBSD and I really liked how different it was. I basically only use Linux now, but I still judge Linux by FreeBSD standards and I'd use FreeBSD if it had decent gaming support.
Or maybe it's because FreeBSD rocks.
