Pro-Linux game dev who releases a Linux-native version, then proceeds to break down the stats to explain to a non-Linux crowd why he chooses to do so? Fuck it, take my money.

Do you have a link? The only information I can find only calls out Windows / MacOS for desktop:

The Proton Drive team is currently working on two new apps: standalone desktop apps for Windows and macOS.

Definitely agree with this sentiment. Another aspect for myself -- When I tell Linux to do something, it fucking does something. No questions, no obfuscating, no disallowing in order to "save me from myself". I have a significantly increased sense of control over MY hardware with Linux.

It is frankly unfathomable to consider going back to the telemetry / spyware laden corporate controlled systems of the mainstream OSes.

I've legitimately never understood the appeal of his channel. Linus always came off as smug to me -- not in the way he talks to the camera necessarily but in the way he talks to his guest / colleague / other person on screen. And based on what little I have seen, the ego certainly doesn't seem justified. Plus there are a multitude of other "gadget / tech" channels available (that don't interrupt every 3rd sentence to hock some overpriced merch).

But there's no accounting for taste so, to each their own I guess.

Legacy of Kain / Soul Reaver series for sure. I would pay absurd amounts of money to play through these again.

Just chiming in to say how much I appreciate all the hard work you’re putting into this. Managing this sudden influx of traffic with so little down time and such grace is really impressive and hasn’t gone unnoticed. Cheers mate.
