Gamers will not make Linux better

Gamers as a customer base is literally what‘s driving GPU driver developments. Valve and their contractors are among the main driving forces in development of the FOSS Linux stack.

    That is until companies move on to supporting other operating systems like FreeBSD or RedoxOS and leave Linux to its fate.

    Until? So when will that inevitable event happen? They didn't care about the BSDs 25 years ago either. Mesa is not a Linux project. FreeBSD uses the same stack.

    So far Linux is only growing, especially with gamers.

    Your comment has no basis in reality. It looks like wishful thinking by a Linux hater.
