Pleasantly surprised that Arch tops the chart. Then again, and I might be wrong about this, but to me a clear bias in the ProtonDB data is that those who submit reports to ProtonDB are usually users who are likely used to submitting bug reports and stuff, so obviously not your average "freshly migrated from Windows" gamer.
I think it's also an issue of selection between the bases.
Yes, arch is on top, but Ubuntu, mint, pop (maybe more?) Are all "Ubuntu", so their representation is divided.
Completely agree I was surprised to see Arch on top still! Plus I'm very new at all this...
And Manjaro is Arch.
Oh! That makes it close again!
Maybe I need to look into arch/Manjaro, unless it's not new-friendly.
Arch is very powerful and flexible, but definitely not newbie friendly. I only made the jump after 7 years of using Ubuntu and Debian, and I still had a learning curve.
