Hopefully the data here only consists of desktop Linux users. If it includes SteamOS users then it kind of skews the data…
Edit: Jesus, so much hostility right off the bat. Chill the fuck out people. I don’t hate Linux and I’m not even upset. I’m talking about statistics—it says “on Steam”, and thus any data that is by definition a part of Steam is a form of statistical bias. It’s a part of Steam, so of course it’s going to be “on Steam”. It skews the reliability of the graph.

In what fucking way does a Linux OS skew the data for Linux OS usage?
It’s Linux though?
Yes. And it has package manager.
Why? Is it annoying to you that there is finally some device with out of the box usable Linux for gaming?
Looks like SteamOS is about 50% https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=linux
Don’t know how that would be. A gain for the Steam Deck is a gain for everyone else on Linux too.
