Quoting: LightkeyMaybe the remaining 0.04% Linux users really are crazy enough to get SteamOS 3.x running on another computer, we are talking about Linux users after all..

I did that last month and the diff was %0.01 back then:grin: Probably that month %0.01 consisted of me and only me.

OBS surprised me when I tried it last time: Recording screen, input sound and output sound Just Worked on KDE Wayland.

Quoting: amataiI am wondering which part of the increase is due to the steam deck. That require a bit of algebra but that would be interesting.

Steam Deck can be tracked accurately from its GPU, which is currently the most popular GPU among Linux users.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhich makes me wonder . . . I knew the Chinese essentially didn't use Linux, like, at all. For desktops/gaming, anyway. But what about all the other non-English speakers? For the overall percentage to be less than half the English-speaking percentage, no-Linux has to be very common out there. Why is Linux so terrible at penetrating beyond the English speaking (gaming) world?

Probably the Linux gamers in foreign countries have set their OS language to English because of missing or broken translations. Also there is the point that Linux is rarely preinstalled so we get to choose language on our own, unlike Win and Mac. This includes me.
Also there are German and Russian are popular among Linux users, so not only English.

Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47There are 5,338 supported games on Steam Deck. There are 4404 licensed games on Nintendo Switch. Plenty of AAA games aren't playable on Switch.

Because of expectations. Let's say I have a PS4 and downloaded a PS4 game. Will I even think that if the game will work or not? Now apply this mindset to Steam Deck. With the correct marketing and improved verification system, people may buy Decks with the correct expectations but IMO most people will think the Deck is buggy because ie. it can't run PUBG. Keep in mind that I am talking about general public who can't distinguish an OS from the hardware.

There was a discussion about this very topic on GOL Discord. I had predicted Q2 2023 but it looks like Valve is faster than expected!
I wonder what are they planning when reserves are fullfiled. They can't put this to physical stores for obvious reasons (many high profile games unsupported, software has deal breaker bugs) but what then?
EDIT: Perhaps they are planning to add more regions?

I packaged the theme. Extract it to ~/.local/share

Quoting: Guestugly theme looks like Windows 98 Plus.

That's the point, except that instead of an ugly (IMO) gray and blue you get a nice military green and gold for retro vibes!

The theme is so cool! Now I started to understand why they went with KDE Plasma:grin: They should have disabled blur for this theme, though.
