Tbf most devs probably want to do it, they just can’t justify it financially. Most games’ programmers are computer nerds, and they would be the ones in charge of implementing that kind of stuff. They’d happily do it because obviously, as computer nerds they love Linux, but even if they accept to do some unpaid overtime just because they really want to implement this, it might get blocked by the publisher because they don’t want that kind of stuff to bypass QA especially since it has a chance of affecting all users, and when looking at the numbers, it’s just not profitable to them.

Now the steam deck could change that dynamic because it has a decent market share, and I would love to see the actual numbers but I’d be willing to bet that most deck owners buy more games than the average player.
