I’m happy for the growth— but are we sure this isn’t just from the increased counts due to the steam deck?

I read further; “When looking at the Steam Linux breakdown, the SteamOS Holo that powers the Steam Deck is now accounting for around 42% of all Linux gamers on Steam. “

Basically the Linux usebase doubled thanks to the Deck.
