Honestly, I'm thinking about it. What I think I'm going to do as part of my new year's resolution is I'm going to go through all of my Steam and GoG and other computer games that say "no support on Linux" and play through those.

Problem is that I have no way to systematically go through teh GoG games to tell me which ones don't have good Linux support.

your retarded map comes from statcounter's data from 2024
since then linux use has dropped from 15% to 5% and windows has been overtaken by an unknown OS which demonstrates how shit it is as a source, retarded nonlinear fluctuations like that make no sense

Pirating is about as easy as on windows. Run the installer and apply crack if you need to. It's typically recommended to use a launcher for games you install outside of a storefront, so it manages the prefix and proton and shit for you, lutris is popular but I prefer heroic.

I've found that if it isn't a multiplayer game with anti-cheat you can generally assume it justwerks (if you have AMD, with Nvidia it justwerks*). Multiplayer games with anticheat will either justwerk or notwerk at all. I installed this because I wanted to tinker around with shit whenever it broke but years on now and I have had to do less tinkering than I did with windows. Like it's actually slightly frustrating that whenever I think I might have some problem that will require me to actually dig in and learn linux a bit there's always something on AUR that just does it for me.

The bigger issue is that most Indian traffic is phone browser based, so what the graph is really tracking is user agent spoofing in response to websites blacklisting specific user agents or only allowing traffic from user agents on a whitelist.
Unknown OS in this case is just an unrecognized user agent, likely from some random new phonebrowser that is mainly used in the Indian market or preloaded on an Indian shartphone.
This is also why it can often vary so wildly.

Arch works in a virtual machine, CachyOS does not, or at least not without specific tweaking.
Arch can be assumed to have been tested as a platform for specific software, CachyOS can not be assumed to have been similarly tested, because CachyOS is still niche and will push its changes specifically for its niche, not compatibility with whatever software you are running.
Setup and troubleshooting guides exist for Arch, but generally not for CachyOS, which can matter in the tiny handful of cases where those aren't the same thing.

It is a niche distro for a specific purpose that makes compromises in certain areas to deliver its specific usecase of eking some more performance, and one of those compromises is just potentially reduced compatibility.

I do not use CachyOS, because I want my distro to just werk or I at least want the cause of my problems to be my own bullshit, not some edge case.
It's my understanding that CachyOS doesn't really add anything other than a live installer, some dotfiles for window managers and those optimizations that I can just install after the fact from the AUR or by adding the correct repos to pacman.
I've installed CachyOS one or two times, but never stuck with it, because Arch just werks.

Arch can be assumed to have been tested as a platform for specific software, CachyOS can not be assumed to have been similarly tested
custom kernel obviously

hypocrisy laid bare, cachyos is arch plus

Yeah basically. You gotta select an exe to run, select the installer first and then point it to the actual game exe once it's done installing.
One of the nice features or heroic I like is that when you go to add a game it has a button for "run installer", which runs any exe really but it doesn't set it as the game path, so you don't have to do the whole dance of changing the executable path twice, or more if you're installing dlcs

Your barely higher FPS are thanks to tweaks to the kernel, which only apply for CPU operations so you're not gonna see more than a few frames of difference in 99% of games
