    Someone please lead a Great Linux Crusade across the wall.

    Anyone from that side of the world? I wonder why their Windows usage is so high.

      There’s a few key games that some people can’t easily give up.

      I also think if anyone has any interest in streaming, there’s often software built for specific desk tools they have (like stream decks) that can be hard to find reliable linux drivers for. I did see OBS is native, but that may be only part of it. Plus, many people are just starved for time, and don’t want to take a day to process a backup/reformat/reinstall that they may have to go back on.

      Probably because of League of Legends. Half of the playerbase is in China.

      Chinese government uses Linux though. They have their own homegrown distro called NeoKylin.

      Gaming centers that buy the same hardware in bulk, is what I understand. So naturally, they’re going to buy them with Windows pre-installed.
