Hello Everyone. I have a simple question. Do you have Linux?

I'm thinking about adding support for this platform. So I want to know how many of you using this OS.

I dont run Linux, but mayhaps you even get more to play if you prepare it for it...no clue how much extra work it is... just my 5 cents...

Don't care. Would rather have an AZERTY support (at last)

I dont use Linux, but i got a SteamDeck wich uses SteamOS (Arch-Linux)... Most People seems to use this tool called wine or proton to use windows applications / games on a linux machine... but i dono what this means for the game development ...

linux is for work, even if you use linux you boot up windows if you want to play something.

I read an article about a studio that supported it- they ended up with metrics stating they had (been awhile, numbers are ballpark) ~0.01% linux users, and like 40% of support tickets were from linux users. Linux distros vary a lot. Supporting all of them is difficult.

No, don't waste your time on Linux garbage.

For question I concur with census the amount people that use linux would not constitute the time it take to convert it and as norman said to many distro

Since you have a game made in Unity, it is easy to make a Linux version. Also, it should run easily on Steam Deck. I've made Linux ports and I also have a Steam Deck. I'm a gamedev, let me know if you have questions.

Steam deck is easier to support than broader Linux as a whole.

People who have access to linux will, in almost every case, also have access to windows. It would be better to put your efforts into more content.

Do you mean support for X86, ARM or both?
