This isn’t a linear trend. Probably a slightly geomtric trend. Source: I turned my phone sideways to analyze the line.
I’m in this graph and I like it.
I will be in this graph very soon, just need to load the drive into the case and hook it up 🥳 (Soon to be) bye Bill Bing(Gates)!
Are… are we the

Steam deck go brrr
I found more interesting is already bigger that mac os
Don’t you have to pay for Wine on Mac?
I wish Linux was more mature. Even as a systems and network administrator with 10+ years of experience working with both Linux and Windows in an enterprise environment, my private desktop Linux installs still occasionally bork themselves for no good reason and require a reinstall. Linux just doesn’t like it when you do stuff with it.
My uptime is 60 days, and that’s with running updates. In my experience, the people with the worst Linux experience are those who are skilled with Windows, because they keep trying to do things the Windows way.
Ubuntu and other Ubuntu desktop variants tend to break very often for me. But this has nothing to do with Linux.
I use Arch Linux at home and never reainstalled it because its solid af. Unlike Windows or Ubuntu
I’ve definitely had such issues with Windows. Never with Linux.

What distro are you using? The only times I’ve had this issue was with Manjaro but since I’ve switched to EndeavourOS this never happened to me again.
how to tell you are using Arch without saying it. Don’t use a rolling release on your own if you aren’t willing to pay the maintenance cost. edit: no, I’m not an ubuntu user.
Actually, at work I use Kubuntu and at home I use Arch Linux.
Guess which install borks out of nowhere automatically because od auto-updates? Exactly. Kubuntu.
Arch is pretty solid and stable. Never broke, never reinstalled unlike most Ubuntu distros

Edit: oh, you aren’t even OP. But I see I triggered you. And you have repeated the same you are saying in the parallel comment? Are you here reading all comments to this specific comment?
I use EndeavourOS, which is Arch based, it has a great and very easy installer and it just worked after installing it and has worked ever since. Arch isn’t that hard anymore.
What’s the “maintenance cost”? Arch had a pretty big setup cost, but mostly because I wanted to configure it to my liking, but I haven’t had to do any maintenance. My Arch server has had low setup time as well.
Hopefully the data here only consists of desktop Linux users. If it includes SteamOS users then it kind of skews the data…
Edit: Jesus, so much hostility right off the bat. Chill the fuck out people. I don’t hate Linux and I’m not even upset. I’m talking about statistics—it says “on Steam”, and thus any data that is by definition a part of Steam is a form of statistical bias. It’s a part of Steam, so of course it’s going to be “on Steam”. It skews the reliability of the graph.
But why? It is a full Linux distro. All games compatible to the Steam deck also run on other distros. So the motivation to develop for Linux is the same and we users of other destroy profit from that the same.
In what fucking way does a Linux OS skew the data for Linux OS usage?
It’s Linux though?
Yes. And it has package manager.
Looks like SteamOS is about 50% https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=linux
Don’t know how that would be. A gain for the Steam Deck is a gain for everyone else on Linux too.
Look for a large spike, that’d be the deck.
Jump, not spike
