Steam Survey is never very reliable. They often have weird OS&#x2F;Hardware stats, like GPU model etc.<p>This specific issue, &quot;the dramatic change of Chinese user&quot; also has happened multiple times in recent years.<p>I just had a glance at this newest report, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;hwsurvey&#x2F;Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;hwsurvey&#x2F;Steam-Hardware-Softw...</a><p>In the very first item, it shows &quot;Windows 11 64 bit 22.41% (change: -9.65%)&quot;<p>This obviously doesn&#x27;t make any sense. It either suffers from small sample size, or a skewed one.<p>My guess is Valve probably failed to deliver the surveys to players in an uniform, representative fashion.<p>Either way, don&#x27;t take it seriously.

I reckon this analysis would benefit from absolute figures. A drop in market <i>share</i> doesn&#x27;t necessarily mean less users if said market is experiencing a massive growth.

Why isn&#x27;t the Steam Deck selling more? It seems like a strictly better version of Switch

Just wanted to give kudos to the community and Valve for just how great the gaming experience is on Linux right now.<p>Over the weekend I tried a game that had a native Linux build. Loads of bugs.<p>Switched to the windows one running under proton, no bugs.

Anecdotally, my peak Linux gaming was during the pandemic. I played Warframe and Overwatch in Proton at least a few times a week. Now I mostly play Call of Duty DMZ, which does not run on Proton thanks to anti-cheat, so I play in Windows.<p>I don&#x27;t have a Steam Deck though. I don&#x27;t know how much that drove the player numbers. I&#x27;ll bet Linux gaming gets a bump when CS2 comes out.

I haven&#x27;t run Arch Linux, but what I&#x27;ve heard is that you have to know what you&#x27;re doing in order to run it. So I&#x27;m surprised it&#x27;s the most popular Linux OS after SteamOS. Is it actually less difficult than I heard?

Speaking of Linux gaming, how is HDR support coming along?

After reading the article I don&#x27;t see how the numbers are questionable at all.<p>This seems more like a case of numbers that don&#x27;t fit the narrative that the author wants to push rather than numbers that are not believable.

I have a strong doubt that the same author calls the numbers “questionable” when the numbers go up…

Perhaps that&#x27;s the reality hitting the Linux folks such as Phoronix when as long as &#x27;number go up&#x27; is it &#x27;believable&#x27; but when it goes down it is &#x27;questionable&#x27;. It can&#x27;t be both at the same time from the same source.<p>Choose one.
