So 43% of Steam users are the kind of stickler that refuse to update their Windows to an objectively better version because it's something new and different and breaks their habits. What would make you think these people would possibly just switch to a different OS altogether if a simple update was too much to ask for the past years?

Als nicht-Deutscher: wie hart mussten die gestandenen Parteien und Politiker in den letzten Jahr[zehnt]en verkackt haben dass wir hier gelandet sind? Es kommt ja nie einfach so von ungefähr weil ja alles gut läuft
You mean despite
It's 85% now and it's probably because it's just a fucking funny drawing of a shrimp drinking tea and speaking silly stuff... (it may also be because being trans or feminist has nothing to do with humor, stop pandering)
But the plastic straws from western Europe polluting the sea!
Open source goals are to solve a problem.
To solve a problem. Again. In Rust!

Amazing, imagine writing a bot so annoying that app devs put a specific button in their settings to ignore it. Thanks for the tip!
A scabby one, it seems
If doing one registry edit and installing Win11 from the iso to bypass the silly "processor unsupported" message is a too high barrier for these 43%, how do you realistically expect these same people to go out of their way and install a Linux distro? Why should they be motivated to learn in which ways it works differently from the Windows architecture? And let's not get started with "unsupported hardware" - even though the Linux experience has gotten so much smoother, it's still not uncommon to have components with subpar or no real support.
Don't get me wrong, I like Linux and I use it for work - but to think a huge part of gamers will switch to Linux with just because they don't want to update their Windows is just illusory.
