Linux Challenges Windows 11 For Gaming Dominance

NYXTERA reports that Linux is rapidly becoming a viable gaming platform as gamers migrate from Windows 11 in 2025. It cites Proton 10 (November 2025) and GE Proton 10-26 (December 2025) delivering about 90% Steam compatibility, Steam Deck sales of 5.6 million by March 2025, and improved AMD/Nvidia driver support. The shift could improve frame rates, reduce telemetry, and lower costs for gamers.
