Quoting: Philadelphusbut Trixie was released November 15 last year so I suspect

Trixie made it to stable only this August. Most people won't bother with testing/unstable.

Quoting: EikeDebian is back in town! :heart:

I'd been wondering how one of the most well established distros had even disappeared from the stats at all.

Debian was split in debian12 and debian13.

Similarly now Fefora "disappeared" because it is split in fedora 42 and 43.

Any ideas why SteamOS is at 27% while Custom GPU 0405 is at 14%?

The GPU 0405 (14.17%) is only the LCD.
The OLED is AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH) with 12.64%

So steam deck gpu is 26.81% and this is very close to SteamOS (27.18%)

I guess Debian is pushed in to "other" category because Debian 13 is new and the userbase is now split between Debian 12 and Debian 13.

Also please split the linear approximation in pieces (Steam Deck release is a good mark)

Ubuntu Core ??

For anyone wondering, Ubuntu Core means they installed steam with snap. In theory like Flatpak it could be any distribution but I expect 100% of these are ubuntu users that don't know better. (snap is not the recommended way).

This is possibly the most expansive list Valve has given for the distribution breakdown yet.

For any distribution to be included it needs 0.05% of the total.

A strange motable thing this month is:

"SteamOS Holo" 64 bit 36.79% -2.41%

AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405 35.72% +9.76%

AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH) 19.40% +6.01%

Custom 0405 is the SD LCD and the other is SD OLED. So SD is actually at 55.12%. Now for the first time more than half of linux users. Not the 36.79% that Holo suggests.

It is not easy to guess why. The difference is too big to be hidden into other.

Actually something is very wrong with the GPUs. They add up to more than 100%.

Quoting: ZlopezI didn't had any crash on Steam Deck,

Maybe the crashes are on X11. If this is right then on steam deck if you run the game on desktop mode you may have the random crashes. (I don't have the game neither a steam deck, I just speculate.

Quoting: NagezahnRemembered I sent them a bug report, and this was the Godot issue I found:
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/75308 [External Link]

googling about this I see this:

https://discourse.gnome.org/t/python-gtk-consistently-crashes-with-xinitthreads-related-errors/20299 [External Link]

I wonder what is right way to solve the issue and who (godot or xcb ot whatever) is in fault.

Quoting: Purple Library Guystrong difference between the apparent growth speed of desktop Linux on the web (as noted here ), and the relatively slow growth of desktop Linux on Steam.

Mostly it is that Steam is also growing (and this is in places with small linux usage). You have to grow as fast just to stand still in relative terms. One way to see linux growth somehow clean (not completely of course but this is at least much better) of that effect is looking the English only percentages. Gaming on linux actually does that! Go to Sections->Steam Tracker and the last diagram is this. Linux has reached 5.29% in English.

We already have FreeDOS so MS-DOS is only for history. It would be more interesting to release Windows 3.1 as open source. This might actually happen. Also very interesting would be the release of windows 95. This unfortunately is very unlikely as I remember they have many legal complications. The last windows version I would care is windows 2000. After 2000 I would just prefer windows to simply vanish from existence.
