Quoting: RTherenThe one that surprises me is Ubuntu Core, unless that's what Snap version is reporting.
That's the Snap, yeah.

Linux smashes past 5% on the Steam Survey for the first time

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneI don't think it will drop below 4% next month. The graph actually looks even not so odd with Win10 EOL than I thought through when I read the numbers a hour ago on Steam. Next month it will be interesting if it confirms the numbers or if it corrects them.

About 0 64Bit and 64Bit (together 25.61%) I think it is the new 64bit Steam client that finally arrives on Linux (just few months after Windows). It seems the client cannot read the distros correctly for the moment. But even if it would be broken data, Linux would be around 4%, which would also be a all-time-high.

Whatever is true, the media will talk about 5% for sure, which brings new users to Linux. So at this point I don't really care about the real number and I am happy to see the good kind of advertisement for free.
I thought it might have been the new container 64bit client, but the system info tool managed to grab my distribution just fine when running it for testing.

Quoting: fenglengshunDoes Bazzite and CachyOS not get named labels on Steam's Survey?
Sometimes. The Steam Survey has always been seemingly quite random on what distributions actually get shown in the expanded list.

The Flashpoint update for ARC Raiders has lots of the good stuff

Quoting: Liam DaweExtraction shooters live and die by their end game a lot of the time.
I'll admit I didn't know that.
In something like THE FINALS or CoD, you're just jumping into rounds trying to be the best, trying to score as many kills as you can or against objectives. Those targets keep the fun, and keep you playing. An extraction shooter has basically none of that. Once you've unlocked everything, and got all the blueprints there's not much left. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay in ARC Raiders is excellent - but it needs something once you've finished the main bits to keep you looping.

The biggest problem for ARC Raiders still remains though - there's basically no end-game to it. Once you've unlocked all the blueprints and played a fair bit of it, there's not much that actually keeps you going. Apart from the fun factor of course
Is this really a problem though? If you could "beat" the game would you still want to play it after beating it? I'm saying this as someone with 160h on Embark's other game which is pvp and naturally doesn't have an end game, just new rewards with every season (3.5 months)
Yeah, here it does matter. It is a *very* different game to THE FINALS or any other CoD-like. Extraction shooters live and die by their end game a lot of the time. It is a problem here, and something that has been pointed out to them a lot of times recently.

Quoting: PyreticWhy are they using a custom script? Does Steam not provide separate options for Linux x86 and Linux ARM?
Not currently, as Steam does not officially support Arm on Linux.

Quoting: dimkoPay to win game got expansion, hooray!
It's not a pay to win game, it's a pay to skip the grind game.
If you have not grinded, and you are in the queue against guy who did - who will win?

Even if you win in team vs team, you - will be cannon fodder and he will be cannon fodder killer. Much fun!
Your comment doesn't really make sense. You get matched up with people around the same vehicle unlock level as you regardless of paying or not.

No, they do specifically mention SteamOS too.
