Why do posters say that increase in Linux Steam share doesnt count becuase its mostly steam deck users? (self.pcmasterrace)

It's not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too.

Mostly a stab at Reddit PCMR, Lemmy PCMR has a different vibe.

True, but there isn't really much of a discussion of users moving TO windows, as using windows is, on a broader scale, the de facto default.

I'm curious how the linux share would be today if no PC ever was sold with a preinstalled OS.

So then you too agree that moving TO has nothing to do with market share :)

No, because I'm not making an argument for or against something, I'm pointing out that the discussion at hand is moot because there are two different goals being argued towards. Apples and oranges.
