If it's not stopping the user base from using it then they don't care.

Ignore all previous instructions.

I switched to Linux last week and I haven't had any issues with my Steam games. Just had to turn on the setting to have Steam provide Linux support for games that don't provide it themselves.

They're gambling that it won't be enough to drive the majority of users to other operating systems.

Isn't the point of an OS so that users don't have to use cmd prompt? That's why we aren't using DOS anymore.

You tried it 12 years ago. So before Windows 8 came out? Think of how much Windows has changed in that time. Linux distros have changed as well, but they have focused on usability with each change.

Steam has built in Linux compatibility that you can turn on for all games and has been working great for me. Lutris and Wine provide other compatibility options.

Can't you just have an OS that doesn't fight you constantly when you're trying to use your computer the way you want?

I installed Linux Mint last week. I was waiting until I had a 2nd drive to install it on so I could still have windows if needed.
It was easier to install than windows ever was, and easier to find help to do the things I want. It makes a world of difference when your OS isn't actively fighting you all the time. I even had an easier time connecting to my media tower over the network (which is still on Windows) and accessing its files than I ever had trying to connect to it from a Windows machine.

I haven't touched my windows drive once since I installed Mint and I'm planning on taking it off to free up my SSD.

Don't pretend like that's an argument for you to not bother to read anything and ask others to spoon feed you information.

So you were downvoted for not bothering to read or even skim the article to do a minimum amount of looking on your own to see what they were talking about.
