Saying “one of the most popular operating systems” when there’s only 3-4 serious, mainstream contenders doesn’t mean much.

And Linux desktop is less than 2%

For gaming I'm fairly sure that overtakes macOS

[–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah exactly, it’s the lowest of the major ones… not saying it’s bad or anything, just not exactly attractive to game devs

Yeah, I think 10% is where it's definitely attractive, though macOS got away with far less, probably because of how much their customers tend to spend on hardware and software.
