The last diagram in your steam tracker page "Linux market share on Steam, another way to look at it" is also interesting.

Oh brave new world, that has such LLMs in it!

Brodie Roberdson on youtube made a video on youtube about it. I could not stop laughing.

Quoting: AsciiWolfUgh, nope? Linux is not Windows. Do they also distribute their Android client as an *.apk?

way worse than that. .apk I think is a package format like .deb (for debian based) or .msi (for windows). What they are doing is the completely chaotic windows way of .exe installers.

Quoting: Liam DaweTheir script just sets up their Flatpak and their repository for it. You don't have to be given a flatpak file for it to be installed via a Flatpak.

It is an executable that installs a flatpak. I totally do not get why they do not just upload it on flathub as the main method. Since they did made it a flatpak it does not make any sense to me to not use flathub.

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.

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%.
