Linux just gained another .13% usage, while Windows lost .23. Another win for Linux
0.13%? This is definitely the year of linux desktop.
An increase of 172000 monthly active Linux users (based on this)
“Arch Linux”
I use Arch, btw.
I use deck, btw
64 bit
“Steam Decks”
Chill! That’s only 2% in total. We can feel happy for Valve doing the pioneer work and maintaining software for Linux.
Percentages can hide the impact of tendencies. Steam has 132MM monthly active users, assuming the poll is a representative sample. Then, 2% is a bit over 2.6MM people using a linux device. This doesn’t include steamOS. That’s at least equivalent to an entire small country’s population using Linux.
Hey, where u get those numbers from?? I thought they stopped disclosing these a few yrs back. Personally I would’ve guessed its closer to 150m myself but I’d like to see any reports or more informed speculation if possible.
For October 2024
Thanks, didnt know there was a link. ill be adding that as url.
Does Archlinux include SteamOS? Why isn’t SteamOS not listed, but several versions of Ubuntu is listed separately? Wasn’t SteamOS making up about half the Steam users using Linux? I would like to see multiple ways and options to enable and disable for Linux grouping, and longer lists. It may be enough for MacOS or Windows, but not for Linux.
