    “AMD CPU use among people who run Linux, only play custom maps on CS:GO, refuse to buy anything on pistol round, still haven’t learned how to use GIMP properly, and work as a low level IT slave, approaching 90%.”

    I mean, we do realize a large percentage of “Linux Gamers” are running steam decks, right? And AMD has been the best choice for Linux users for a while. 70% in that context is kinda sad.

      do intel cpus not perform as well on linux? im a little ootl on this but i thought the cpu compatibility was just fine on both amd and intel on linux, unlike the gpu scene where amd is doing the best on linux

        Intel runs just fine on Linux, but because AMD gives so much support and lip service to open source, and because Intel is the big bad market leader, there’s a lot of “intel bad, amd good” in the open source community.

        My original comment was trying to point out that “Linux Gamers” are an incredibly niche category filled with die hard linux fans with strong opinions and steam deck users. And frankly I’m surprised Intel has ANY marketshare with that crowd.

        Intel CPUs work fine with Linux. They’re still the market share leader and you’d hear a lot of complaining from Linux newcomers if you had problems on literally most pro laptops (Thinkpads were Intel-exclusive or close enough for a while).

        GPUs is were vendor choice matters more, Nvidia is STARTING to get good, but AMD has been good for a while.
