Comment on Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare
Katana314@lemmy.world 6 days agoThere’s a few key games that some people can’t easily give up.
I also think if anyone has any interest in streaming, there’s often software built for specific desk tools they have (like stream decks) that can be hard to find reliable linux drivers for. I did see OBS is native, but that may be only part of it. Plus, many people are just starved for time, and don’t want to take a day to process a backup/reformat/reinstall that they may have to go back on.

There is open source software to run a stream deck, OBS is native (as you mentioned), and my Scarlett audio interface Just Works™. I’m not some big streamer or anything, but I dabble and nothing I could do on Windows is missing in Linux. Even my wacom tablet just works by plugging it in.
When I made the switch, I spent the money on a new ssd and literally pulled the windows one out and had it stashed away something like an “in case of emergency, break glass” type of thing. I realized recently I hadn’t touched that in 4 years and decided to format it and install Cachy to try that out on my laptop; everyone just won’t shup up about how good it is so I figured I should give it a chance.

it’s so easy to say when your income does not depend on streaming
