Steam reaching 1,800 Linux/SteamOS games is the good news, but the bad news is that there aren’t many AAA titles available, and, therefore, the usage of Steam for Linux continues to remain very low even in 2016, under 1%.
Even if Steam for Linux passes the 1% milestone, it is still low for such a promising platform, and the reason for this is that most of the gamers won’t switch from Microsoft Windows to Linux overnight, especially when you have so many AAA games.
