i always wonder if you include the older titles that just don’t work anymore on modern windows but work fine on proton. i wonder what a windows user library percentage wouldn’t be. I knows it would not be 100%. It seems they always forget those when windows users complain about Linux/proton compatability.

That actually came up in some of the early ROG Ally reviews. Some reviewers found that old steam games wouldn’t run on it, but they would run on the steam deck.

My hazardous guess would be that their average percentages are the same, but the era is where it would differ. Linux compatibility for newer titles is where Linux is lacking, but the support for older titles is pretty fully fledged.

Likewise, Microsofts compatibility with older titles is pretty abysmal but is probably comparable to compatibility with newer titles on Linux.

That said, over time I have a feeling MS will continue to go down and Linux will continue to go up.
