Ah, so that obnoxious complaint about how “Linux users report too many bugs” and thats why devs won’t port their game to linux, is actually a strength because Linux users:

  • Accurately describe the bug
  • Provide useful data
  • Make Helpful Suggestions
  • Typically hit bugs that are also on Windows

Also, similarly, for any future bug reports I may make.

IF there is a preferred format for your bug reports, please state that in a location relevant to whichever bug report system you use.

This makes me very happy for some reason. It is like a huge pat in the back for a community that often is under appreciated. The open source community is the last bastion that stands against the rapid capitalism that is spreading through the world. We need more such devs who appreciate this sort of feedback and more new members of the community to take up the torch and continue the good fight.

I need to share this. This should be on people’s t-shirts and stuff.

Just made me think of the quote: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

I think the fact is that most Linux users have a more technical background and work in the tech/IT sector. They know that filling a bug report requires a clear explanation of the problem, and steps to reproduce it, hence the greater quality of their reports.

But still makes me happy that even though Linux has a small market share, game devs actually start caring more for them. And a lot of this is also thanks to Steam, I don’t think we would be here without their relentless work to make this happen and the Deck.
