Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark
logicbomb@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’d guess Valve wants whatever makes more games work on Linux so that their Steam Deck works better and is more compatible.
And that means the most important thing is Linux desktop adoption by game developers so they make more native games. So somewhat ironically, I don’t think SteamOS would be as high a priority as other distributions, since it focuses on players instead of developers.

Ironically, some games run better on the Steam Deck through Proton rather than the native Linux version.

A lot of games received their ports during the Steam Machine era, used outdated technologies like DirectX to OpenGL translation, and never got updated, so it’s not surprising unfortunately.
