>which is why you can install Ubuntu

This is actually one of the root causes. It would be SO MUCH EASIER, for me, an app developer, if every linux user used centos, or ubuntu, or mint, or whatever the hell. Don't care, pick one. But, customizing is part of the fun... anyways.

Also yeah, desktop Linux is about 10% of users, depending on who you ask. Worse for gamers, although that's just feedback loops.

There's one more thing though, which most people aren't aware of... driver versions. Drivers often ship game-specific hacks for performance fixes. It's an insane, unspoken practice that occurs because some developers will only test heavily on one mfg GPU. Right now, nvidia is taking the brunt of the work because consoles are AMD based.
