This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Steam Survey results for July 2023 were just published and it points to a large and unexpected jump in the Linux gaming marketshare.
So if the percentage numbers are accurate, this is likely the largest in absolute terms that the Linux gaming marketshare has ever been.
The Steam Survey results for July show Windows 10 64-bit losing 1.56% marketshare and Linux gaining the healthy 0.52% of that.
With the SteamOS / Steam Deck monthly numbers not showing any magnificent gains, I am curious over this 0.5% increase for Linux gaming overall and whether it's genuine.
Chinese gamers and reporting differences there have previously vastly swayed Steam statistics in prior months.
