      Sure, it’s only about half a percentage point. However, relatively speaking, the increase is rather significant at over 30%, also this being the first time Linux having a larger share than macOS.

    My guess is that these are the Windows 7 holdouts who refuse to move to Win 10/11. Steam recently added a notification and countdown to Win 7 clients alerting the end of support for Steam on the OS.

      Do you think people who still use Windows 7 now, 5 months before the deadline, switch to Linux instead of upgrading Windows?

      I want to believe, but it seems unlikely to me. Sure, you’d need to pay me to use Windows 10 and 11, but they don’t seem much worse than Windows 7 to me.

    I’m on linux, how can I be part of that? I don’t play games but I could be 0.001%.

    Is it as simple as installing steam and logging in once a month?

      no it’s an algorithm that gives preference to players who play more, making them more likely to receive the survey and participate.
