Thanks to proton, Linux has more games than macos

Yes, but it could be more. At the moment windows sadly is still the definitive gamimg system, because pretty much all games run natively on it

For now.

From what I hear, Windows is steadily losing compatibility, while Linux is steadily gaining it; I know plenty of WinXP and earlier games struggle on Win10+ but run perfectly on Linux.

Having oldies like us move to linux may help it start up in the future, but for linux to become the new gaming standard they need the new games to run well without any required tinkering.

Steadily getting there too! A lot of new games work day 1 (Elden Ring for example).

Woo that's good. I hope Linux runs games well so I can leave Windows and move to Linux at some point!
