[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 7 points 10 months ago* (2 children) Currently on Steam: 19338 games are compatible with Linux and SteamOS While there are 145462 games on Steam Which only translates to 13,3% of games on Steam being compatible with Linux. It is better than before, but where the fuck do they get 90% from? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] eltoukan@jlai.lu 8 points 10 months ago* the first paragraph has a link to a protondb dashboard: https://www.protondb.com/dashboard pretty cool visualisation, though it's not obvious where they get the 90% for me either. But for example if you take the Top 1000 games, 89% of them either have a plat, gold or silver medal, which sounds quite equivalent to "works on Linux". There is an "all steam games" option, but the issue is that most games haven't had any feedback from anyone on protondb edit: the stat comes from the second link https://boilingsteam.com/windows-games-compatibility-on-linux-is-at-a-all-time-high/ which uses as a sample all of the steam games rated on protondb permalink fedilink source parent [–] julysfire@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago Iirc correctly, those are just the Linux native ones. A game doesn't have to be native to play just fine on Linux though. permalink fedilink source parent
