    Very few linux installs include steam and this survey only represents a few thousand gamers. The only thing it shows is that steam users like steam os.

      Millions of sold Steam Deck units run Linux and default to Steam. It’s easily the most popular personal computing device running GNU/Linux out there.

        i wonder how many old thinkpads are still running linux… Honestly, it’s possible some arbitrary single model may still outnumber steam decks.

          I think you’re forgetting about AWS, GCP, Azure.

          No, I’m not. Had you read my comments correctly, you’d know that I was stating repeatedly that Ubuntu is popular for containers but that’s is a completely different topic.
