I got the survey today!

I think this is the fourth time I've gotten it.

If 2~2.5% is true, somehow 0.86% looks low indeed

But probably not every gamer is on steam, some might use GoG, wine or even traditional opensource gaming scenario, etc...

But i think we can increase that with AMD blob promotion

And that because one of the most popular games like TF2 lock up GCN GPUs using opensource drivers since december... that is already "i got a baby" bug

Or maybe i shouldn't recommend blob because it works?

That logic also applies for other OS's. :/

Let's call it what it is: Linux usage for gaming isn't moving.

With feral making ports slower than wine does it surprise you? I wonder if theyre secretly a tentacle of microsoft.

Maybe, but with those numbers i would rather conclude that every 1/3 linux gamer is on steam

But never forget Einstein theory you know, so even if you move if someone move faster then it just looks like that i am not moving

Or let say it like this, Sun is much bigger then Earth and Canis Majoris is bigger then Sun... but from my perspective i am bigger then my monitor... or maybe i am not

In whole Trine Enchanted Edition is slower then on Windows, but it is already slower then Trine 2... and both have broken rendering with opensource driver. And now when i found and advise Sun too bump perf on those by 40% with at least MCCaps as games are CPU capped, then Canis Lupus wanna bite me and telling me that i have not strong political opinion and now i am probably smaller then my monitor and percentage is of course low

Is he TF2 lock-up on GCN GPUs reproducible? I recall trying TF2 on my R9 380 with AMDGPU without issue, but it wasn't really a long play-session.
