Something to note is that Linux in English Steam installations is at almost 8%.
Just picked up a steam deck because I was worried prices might spike soon due to RAM shortages, saying I am amazed by it feels like an understatement.
I don’t use mine nearly enough :/
Maybe I’m in the honeymoon phase but I can’t put it down, I love my gaming pc but the deck just keeps impressing me. I also fly a ton, and had been using a Switch, which I have now replaced with the deck.
Just got bazzite going on my gaming laptop as of yesterday! Surprisingly easy, so far works great.
I’m doing my part
Add one more from me. Tossed SteamOS onto my Legion Go over the weekend and good God is it better at running literally every game better than Windows.
The Steam Deck’s AMD Custom GPU 0405 also saw a sharp dip in this revision going from 21.41% now to 13.37%.
I would have thought the Linux share would be mostly made up of steam decks, but seems that’s not the case!
I don’t own a Steam Deck (yet) but I retested nearly all of my library on Debian this year, and everything runs well enough now so I stopped dual booting.
I remember trying on Arch (Artix) 6 years ago and nearly everything was a pain… now only issue is anti-cheat, and I’m not married to Dragon Ball FighterZ online, so it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
I sincerely mean this: thank you for your sacrifice. I wish there were more people like you who were willing to make the sacrifices necessary to stick it to the big corpos.
95% to go
I’d be satisfied with +47%
Or a three-way tie, but another player would have to enter the field, as Apple clearly isn’t interested.I would too.
I’d like to see windows shrivel up and die though.
I’ll be excited if Linux hits 20% total market share, which is about where Apple sits last time I checked. That would put Linux squarely as a contender for normies.
