There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

Microsoft makes their money off licenses. They don’t care about hardware, especially gaming hardware.

MS makes their money off selling site licenses to corporations. That’s their bread and butter. Gaming will not offset this.

Yes, but the discussion wasn't about how Microsoft makes its money, it was about how important gaming was to promoting one OS over another, via hardware sales...

Gaming isn’t much of a factor, especially when the majority of gamers are console players.

And I would argue gaming is a big part of that, which is what my original reply was about.
