Bought this on release day and looking forward to dive in. Looks cute, and the demo was nice as well.

They already have more marketshare than linux :(
I think the implication was that a) Win 11 is both underwhelming and has high hardware requirement and b) if you're going upgrade/re-install to a new O/S, it's a good time to try Linux anyway.
Yes. While as a Windows user, I wouldn't care too much about official hardware requirements, there's been rumours like Microsoft not offering updates for non-conforming system (which would be many). Windows users are really "urinated against". I saw some users who said they will try gaming on Linux now for this reason (though it's not been more than I've got fingers on one hand ;) ).

That looks nice, though I'm not sure what you're doing in the game. :D

Ooops! Even better. Fixed. Was too focused on the sudden surge.
I thought you've left out the small changes deliberately. :)

Not only is Linux above 1% for another month but we've now seen 4 months of it continuing to rise.

When I got mine, it always was on first of the respective month.

Quoting: kuhpunktA lot of games relatively speaking isn't enough when you can't play most of the modern games.
Well, it was (and still is) enough for me.
Not enough to make lots of people change system though.
