Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck (www.gamingonlinux.com)

A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.

Only dimly related, but since I'm in this 2%, I can't help reflecting that in the 11 months since joining Lemmy, I have:

  • Canceled all of my streaming subscriptions

  • Built a massive Plex Server

  • Rekindled my love of Unix building said server

  • Began pirating movies, TV, music, and software like a fucking syphilitic pegleg

  • Began experiencing Star Trek TNG for the first time, pirated, on my Plex Server, running Linux

  • Bought a steam deck and began experimenting with Arch

Don't ever let anyone tell you your feed doesn't influence you, no matter how media literate you are.
