Why is Linux total at 1.95%, but the most popular distros don’t add up to nearly 1.95%? Is it SteamOS making up the difference?
Yes. The steam deck is massively popular
I’m appalled that they don’t attribute Steam Decks as Arch Linux, btw. Appalled btw.
That’s like saying you’re appalled that Linux Mint isn’t attributed to Ubuntu or Debian (depending on the spin).
Probably. Just making a joke. 🙂
tons of other distros arent listed at all that probably add up to it, like Nobara.
Linux mint is 0.07%… are you telling me that over 95% of the linux installs are other distros?
As far as people using steam on linux, who participated in the steam hardware survey?
Presumably, since the percentages for the displayed 4 Distros don’t add up to the total usage. Which means there are two conclusions. survey results are bugged, or they are only displaying the top 4 distros only, and all the other distros (like me on Nobara) don’t make some arbitrary cuttoff for listing. Which makes since, since Manjaro and Linux are at the bottom of the display with only .07%.
There are many windows machines that never run any game (corporate issued work laptop for example). What this says is that Linux machines are more likely to be personal machines in which you can play games.

What this says is that among gamers using Steam, Linux is at 1.9%, that’s all. Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you said but I don’t see how you draw your conclusion.
I don’t know about you, but my work laptop is most definitely not participating in the Steam hardware survey and I’d probably be in trouble if it did.
