Isn't it asking a bit much of developers to give a shit about Linux when according to Steam's latest software survey it accounts for a whopping 0.67% of users, spread across God-knows-how-many different flavors.
Why would I even install Linux on my gaming box if there are no games?
Yes, I know, chicken and egg - but most games I play don't really work on Linux and are not on Steam anyway. I'm just saying it's a dumb idea to go off usage numbers of Linux steam users. FWIW, I have it installed on a laptop, so if they do some sort of flagging, my account has repeatedly logged in from Linux and started games - just not many and not often.
Indeed, and those artistics usually don't get a damm about platforms beyond getting exposure to their work in some form.
Walking the corridors of GDC(E), PAX seldom turns into discussions about OS and 3D APIs, rather business opportunies, publishing contracts, turning ideas into contracts.
Street musicians and art fair artists also do stuff big labels and architure societies don't care about.
That’s because most of the indie developers use Unity, and in there you can release a Linux binary in the click of a button (you don’t even need to have a Linux OS, cross-compiling is supported out of the box)
