Do my eyes deceive me? Apparently not. According to Statcounter, the Linux share on the desktop has actually now passed 3% for the first time.

    Are these actual installs or are they counting steambox?

      Statcounter bases their data on web traffic. If you’re browsing the web on your Steam Deck, I think that should count.

        Which tbh if someone’s using the deck for browsing, they’re treating it like a portable pc anyways

      Shouldn’t we count steam devices?

        We should. Not counting them is like not counting all the laptops/PCs with windows preinstalled and Apple devices with MacOS preinstalled.

      Steam boxes aren’t really a thing. The Steam Deck is not really used as a desktop PC a lot. So, no.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
