It's new and different. It's also not really usable atm so there's plenty of hype and little disillusionment yet.
Give it a couple years and everyone will probably have forgotten about it.

Qt and gtk both have rust bindings though?

Considering this is browser stats I doubt the steam deck has much to do with it, the steam deck is all about never opening anything other than steam.

Grind is kinda the purpose of the genre...

Linux only just hit 2% market share

That's steam players, linux on desktop is estimated at 4%, and 6% if you count chromeos.

No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming

Is that actually a thing? Firefox has a drm button toggle and prime worked fine last time I used it.

Does it matter where it comes from though? Do you think regular folks are like: "i'm gonna play on my WINDOWS MACHINE"? They just use whatever came pre-installed.

drivers for software

That's not a thing.

theme brings drivers

Gnome and kde don't bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.

only working on Windows

OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there's money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.

There's some distributions that are windows-like, if you want that you can try Linux Mint. But some DEs like Gnome approach desktop use very differently and do away with plenty of windows designs.

This is a game design failure, it's why max ammo is a thing.

Botnets work as background malware, most people never realize they're infected, as opposed to in your face malware like ransomware.
Backups are only relevant for malware if you can pinpoint when the malware was installed and the backups aren't compromised.
