?V: Kodera Software, the developer of the indie game Rings of Saturn, has released some interesting findings about bug reports in the game. The game has been in early access for several years, and the developer stated that about 38% of all bugs found came from the Linux Community. ?V: Only 5% of Rings of Saturn’s entire user base. Considering that 8 of them are Linux users, it turns out that Linux gamers report 650% more bugs. A total of 12,000 units of the game have been sold so far, of which only 700 were Linux versions. .
For those wondering if the reporting on Linux is due to the platform being more cumbersome, Kodera says that’s not the case. Out of a total of 400 bug reports from Linux, only three are platform specific.
The truth is, the Linux community is pretty good at reporting bugs. This, of course, is one of the perks of open source. Kodera praises Linux users not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of quality. He especially underlines that the quality and detail of reporting is extremely good when it comes to Linux gamers.
