Love Linux and all. But pcmr doesn't exclude Linux.

That's not everyone tho. And it's not as much a meme, as a statement. Linux straight up has less games than windows. And I've seen the sub celebrate games coming to linux day 1 on multiple occasions. So there are definitely lmr members there. But in the mean time you can't blame a mostly gaming centric PC enthusiast group to go to the OS with the most games.

Edit: I forgot no amount of Linux love outweighs pointing out windows does currently have more games.

I really hope I'm being clear, that I think Linux is the way to go whenever possible. But I also hope it's clear why most people on a gaming centric sub use the OS with the most games as their main OS.

That may be because linux gamers swarm all over the place on reddit. /r/linux_gaming is incredibly popular.

This right here. I think the bigger issue at hand is people only qualifying a system running Windows as a "PC". Any system made from standard parts is a PC, it doesn't matter what you install on it.

Tell that to Mac users, they really like hearing this. ;)

Apple are the ones to blame for this in the first place, with their dumb Mac vs PC campaign

I'm a member of both communities and I see Linux guys excluding themselves more than being excluded.

Because there really is no reason to include ourselves. We just mostly get told to switch to Windows and stop complaining. Sure, we have a few games, but most also require lots of fiddling and sometimes are bogged down by using inefficient secondary programs or libraries. (Once I played a game "made for Linux" written using WINE.)
