    Especially when compared with macOS, an operating system famously known as NOT a gaming operating system.

    That’s like saying you made a car that gets better gas mileage than a bicycle.

    Like, ok. But how well does it run Photoshop or AfterEffects?

      I’d be pretty impressed if you showed me a car with better fuel economy than a bicycle. I don’t know about you lot, but I haven’t had to refuel my bicycle a single time since I bought it.

      It matters when game devs argue that they don’t support Linux due to player count, but are perfectly fine making builds for MacOS (See Riot Games). Showing these stats pushes back against that argument and gives devs more incentives to support Linux.

      I have a MacBook that I use opportunistically for games. It’s not my primary gaming machine, but I keep Steam on it for if I’m on a work trip and have some down time or whatever. I imagine a lot of the Mac users in the survey are in the same boat.
