    I feel like a lot of the uptick in Linux users is probably due to the steam deck, which is good in itself but not necessarily Linux desktop users

        You’ve seen one now.

        I’ve seen a couple on trains IRL, along with myself.

        Have never seen someone using Linux in the wild

      Would a significant portion of steamdeck users browse the Internet from it though? I found browsing too cumbersome on mine and in every case it was easier to just pull my phone out and surf that way.

        Anyone who wants to do anything besides bogstandard steam games probably will at least once or twice

        Depends how this data is gathered

        I browse the internet on my steam deck. It’d got good speakers and a good screen so I like it for watching things.

        I’m pretty sure it’s the same as eastern europe, where literally no one bought Windows ever and just pirated, so sanctions do nothing

        I’m from Ukraine and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone buying Windows like… ever, I guess if it’s preinstalled on laptops, but many of them were sold without OS for that reason

        Microsoft doesn’t care because that’s exactly how they made a monopoly in eastern europe’s office space before linux became popular enough

      I’ve never heard a single steam deck owner here. plus I doubt it would affect the data of a 80 million people.
