> Overall I'd say Windows offers no advantages besides being more entrenched among gaming developers for historic reasons.

So if you were a game developer you wouldn't consider the fact that for every 1 Linux gamer on Steam there are 99 Windows gamers and thus optimize for the much larger market?




That's exactly what I said above, Windows is addressed not because it's better for gaming or is somehow superior to Linux in avoiding issues like above, but because developers don't want to ignore its market size.

With comparable market size, Linux won't be ignored either, its issues regardless.
