Here's another way to look at the Linux market share on Steam
3 December 2017 at 8:53 am UTC

Quoting: 1xokThese games are also very popular outside China.
I mean, there are very few games popular in China. An average Chinese Steam account has GTA V, PUBG, CSGO/Dota and nothing else.

The most popular Steam games in China are Windows-only GTA V and PUBG, so even if there are millions of Linux users in China, they see no point joining Steam. Maybe if these games got Linux versions, we would see growth of Linux market share because of Chinese Linux users.

GOG adds Linux downloads for retro titles Earthworm Jim 1 & 2

Linux and Mac versions on GOG and Windows only on Steam? That's very unusual.
Aren't DOS versions of EWJ 1-2 inferior to SMD/SNES?
Quoting: TcheyI never found any game close to Lost Vikings gameplay until today, by the way.
I heard The Cave is similar to this. Trine may remind The Lost Vikings too.

Tannenberg, the standalone expansion to Verdun, explodes into Early Access
18 November 2017 at 5:38 am UTC

It runs bad on my computer, about 20 fps while I have 45-80 in Verdun. Damn Unity.
I like Tannenberg so far with its 64 players, differing from Verdun map structure and Mosin rifles, but it's painful to play at 20 fps and 300 ms ping.

The game is very glitchy now, yesterday I joined a server, and many players (including me) couldn't even spawn there.

Quoting: EikeWasn't it the only incentive ever of Valve for Windowsers to try Linux? :)
There is an achievement in Postal for launching the Mac or Linux version of it. 8.6% of gamers got it.

Back then I didn't have Linux on my main computer and I had given my laptop with Windows 7 + Ubuntu dualboot to my brother, so I could try Steam for Linux only few months later (on said laptop). And I made this screenshot:

Does anyone remember TF2 Tux hat?

Linux marketshare on Steam dropped again in October, as China takes a massive chunk of the market

Imagine what marketshare would Linux have if everyone in China used Linux.

F1 2017 system requirements for the Linux port have been revealed, NVIDIA & AMD supported

Maybe they should, but it doesn't mean they would. Many Feral games perform poorly with my FX-8350, including Grid Autosport, Mad Max, Life Is Strange. Newer games perform better than older ones, but still much worse than their Windows versions.
If Feral don't note AMD, that means they don't guarantee their game will run fine unless you have Intel and they haven't been testing it on AMD.
