I don’t think they have produced enough Decks to change the statistics much. Deck is more of a prestige win: a major mainstream corp investing in Linux for consumers. Not to mention all work that Valve has put into dxvk and other libraries.

cough on desktop cough?
Every year since 1999 has been declared the year of the Linux desktop. My grandmother still does not use Linux.
Why not?
Linux has already won the server and mobile. Desktop will follow.
Server was won pretty quickly as Linux became the only remaining Unix.
Mobile was won because Google picked it as a kernel, however it’s at best a pyrrhic victory because the userspace has nothing to do with other Linux.
Desktop also needs a specific event to be won, it won’t just grow up progressively for no reason.
To be clear, while Linux has won much of the mobile market - FreeBSD still has roughly a third of the market worldwide, and more than half in the US for an example.
BLASPHEMER!

If we keep saying it’s the year of the Linux desktop, one day… It will be.
Does your grandmother use computers at all?
No, she passed away awhile ago.
And soon… it will be 4.1%!
