It’ll be a cold day in hell when AI-horny suits learn the lesson that people don’t want AI

So your argument is that because less than 51% of the population uses computers for gaming, it’s “unfair” to point to problems people have with Linux and games?

If anything less people is good.

Maybe get off social media, then

Hey now that’s not fair.

Shooting Nazis is also acceptable

Which would sort of prove the point that TikTok isn’t the root of all evil

I’m not sure what your point is? 43% of 54% is still 23% of the population – is a quarter of Europeans aged 6-64 “a niche”?

Looks like the numbers are similar for the US: 64% of the population plays games, 45% of them using PCs: https://www.theesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-Essential-Facts-Booklet-05-30-25-RGB.pdf

I wouldn’t call gaming a niche hobby at all – I know plenty of people who aren’t “technically-minded” in any way but who still play games on their computers and not just on mobile devices or consoles. 54% of Europeans aged 6-64 played games according to a 2024 poll, 43% of them on a PC – that’s a huge chunk of the population.

I’m not speaking from personal experience as such because I’ve been using Linux since the late 90’s, but I do know a bunch of people who haven’t had great experiences with Linux, mainly due to eg wanting to run games – which is fairly easy nowadays thanks to Proton but it’s still not as stupid simple as just installing a game in Windows – or driver problems (esp graphics)

Uh, the commercial products I use don’t contain ads, dunno what the hell you’re on about

Let’s not kid ourselves. Anybody who thinks that Linux is as user-friendly to the average user as eg. Windows or macOS is completely out of touch with how helpless the average user is
