Hey,
I’m an Indie - I would prefer to use linux but there are a number of things that have made me move to windows:
- Graphics Driver support - it is always way behind windows - even things like lumen are not really an option yet.
- plugin support - things like Megascans bridge and other plugins don’t fully support linux
- Launcher - this is a biggie - the Epic Launcher does not run on Linux, so you’re only option is to build everything from source code. Purchased items from the Epic marketplace can only be downloaded from the launcher - and the launcher has to have at least one version of the engine installed - on windows. You can run it through Wine or through a virtual machine - but it’s a pain.
