That the share of Linux users is much higher than the “official” figures admit, is something that many of us think. I think that the share of Linux users should be between 3% and 4%… But hey… let’s go to the data, which is what we have…
Steam Deck (powered by Arch Linux) was released in February 2022, and Phoronix informa which is helping Linux market share on Steam. “While July was 1.96% for Linux, the figures for august [de SteamPowered.com] show a drop from 0.14% to 1.82%. Interestingly, macOS fell 0.27% to 1.57%, while Windows rose 0.4% to 96.61%. For those wondering why Steam Linux numbers dropped while Steam Deck continues to be very popular, it’s possibly another month hit by big swings in Chinese traffic… SteamOS Holo powering Steam Deck gained another 2% market share and now dominates 44% of reported Linux gamers.
Among Linux gamers, AMD CPUs power around 71% of systems. Partly because the Steam Deck is powered by an AMD APU. Meanwhile, Steam on Windows has an AMD CPU market share of around 33%.
