Linux just gained another .13% usage, while Windows lost .23. Another win for Linux
“Arch Linux”
I use Arch, btw.
That’s me, that’s all me
It’s interesting that windows 10 lost more than windows 11 gained, .09% of users jumped ship because they didn’t want windows 11
I don’t thing any of these changes are statistically enough to make these kind of assumptions
Yeah seriously, any change less than ~2% is within margin of error.
0.13%? This is definitely the year of linux desktop.
An increase of 172000 monthly active Linux users (based on this)
Let’s. Freakin. GOOOOOO!!!
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.
That’s more than Mac
Tbh for some reason I always assumed there were more Linux gamers than Mac gamers lol
NGL, a few more rounds of sweet Asahi releases Linux might be better for gaming on the M1 series over MacOS. The devs actually have a Vulcan support built. Apple never bothered, lol.
Linux has always enjoyed better game support than MacOS. Even before Valve’s efforts, it was possible to get most games running - sometimes fine, but often with bugs or defunct features. Some games ran even better with wine than on a modern Windows installation of its time.
However, this does not mean it was easy.
come on where’s my survey I want to get surveyed
The survey is just accepting to send some auto collected data. There is no “real survey” involved.
come on where’s my accepting to send some auto-collected data, I want to accept to send some auto-collected data
I think it’s random - Steam asked me to participate today when I opened it, but the last time that happened was a long time ago…
