What did he meant by The Linux problem?

He means Linux had sex with his wife and now he's mad.
-
Which distro?

When the operating system you are using has more sex than you.

He means they have a problem with Linux users. What other reason would there be to buy up games and remove native Linux support the second its removed from the steam store? (Rocket League for example)
-
The Epic Games Store doesn't have a Linux client, so it's understandable from a business perspective to not develop a product no new customers will be able to buy.
It's a middle finger to existing customers though, especially with the outdated Linux version being downloaded by default. They should prioritize proton to enable online play on multiplayer game, but as established, they don't care about Steam Linux users

Yes, those launchers are great. But I don't think Epic will ever acknowledge third-party clients exist, so their existence makes no difference from their perspective.

Ofc not. They have shriveled dick syndrome and hate consumer freedom.

Eh... "gaslighting 101" -- swears randomly (against the victim/target), throws in a (non-random) praise to "raise the fire even more", refuses to elaborate.

Linux users have too much self respect and expect too much privacy and control over their own devices. That's a problem.

I think he means the whole “Not enough users to justify porting applications, users don’t use it because applications don’t support it” thing.
The problem is that logic has been dead for years. Users are here. The Steam Deck is wildly popular. Tim Sweeney is just a dumbass.
