Target cross-platform technologies from the start.
Eliminate bugs, make releasing for PC and any console you want easy.
Linux shouldn't really be a special support case, it only becomes one when silly assumptions are made.

Just building websites that work on different devices if the site is non-trivial i.e. SVG, WebGL etc the cost up because each platform you have to duplicate the QA phase. This week I spent 4 days tracking down an iOS bug in a WebForm. The company had to pay me 4 days worth of work, half of that was reproducing the bug reliably.
People make out this stuff is easy. It isn't and I am sorry but Linux users on Steam is like 1 or 2% the last time I checked. It just isn't worth the effort for most developers.
It's nice to think that shipping a bunch of stacked hacks and making some money to then just get closed down/bought/retargeted is the 'happy flow' but unless you don't know any better you may want to diversify and find a job or project that has actual quality as a standard. I know that in late-stage capitalism with minmaxing in the mix that is hard to find in some countries, but it exists plenty if you go look for it.
Like Vulkan? Doesn't run on macOS.
