    doesn’t Steam Hardware Survey report way higher percentage of Linux users?

    (Statista, Blackdown)

    wouldn’t Valve’s numbers be more reliable?

      Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

    What I see is that there is an asymptotic leveling out of the proprietary operating systems. Nothing really improves anymore at that level. On the other hand, the free operating systems are making large strides towards that same level of usability every year.

    In the end, if all the OS’s end up at parity function-wise, the free one that doesn’t abuse it’s users privacy is going to come out on top.
