Came across this interesting post
<https://bsky.app/profile/steinmakesgames.bsky.social/post/3leh4rj3jek2w>
from a game developer who supports both Windows and Linux. They find
that the Linux players, even though they are not a large part of the
market, generate more than their share of bug reports.

Sounds bad? Does that mean it is harder to support games on Linux? No,
as it turns out, most of the bugs found are in fact common across
platforms. It’s just that the Linux gamers are more conscientious
about supplying high-quality bug reports that make it easier to
actually find and fix the bug. And that benefits players regardless of
which platform they’re on.
