Steam Deck sure helped familiarize new users with KDE system.

I'm sure it's more but just not tracked/marked unknown due to users/distros not providing the info

How acurate is that? 100% of the 8 linux users i know use adblocker and tools like umatrix. I would assume that is very common among linux desktop users. Would any of us show up in those stats?

It would be nice to have shown the stats over recent years, though.
