Dang, up a percent in a year? That actually is pretty notable for Linux. I know it's gotten easier to install and use (easier distros), but could this be more a shift to mobile over windows or macos?

I think after we got the steam deck, the popularity of gaming on Linux grow a lot and continues to.

  • Windows have gotten annoying with ads and privacy that people are jumping to Linux.

The deck also demonstrates that gaming is very viable on the OS. It was a major gap for massive number of people before proton (the compatibility software, not Proton privacy - no confusion intended)
