Steam Survey for February 2026 shows a big swing to Simplified Chinese

Further supporting my theory

Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit 2.59% -3.98%
Linux Mint, the newbie distro that all those starry-eyed Windows migrants were told to try out -3.98%.

They got frustrated or disappointed and promptly reinstalled Windows because the anticheat in their favorite Furry hero shooter refuses to support Linux.

I was kind of right:

I'll be the one to say it:

Consider all those who got gassed up on the cyclical $NEW_WINDOWS bad streak who tried out Linux on their gaming computers, only to feel overwhelmed or burned or whatever by the differences (of which newbies will always make mountains out of mole hills) who then promptly return to the familiarity of Windows.

I suspect we'll see another small decrease next month too.

DREAMM emulator for LucasArts, Lucasfilm, and Lucas Learning games v4.0 out now

What system is it emulating?

Are they, again, abusing the world 'emulator' when in fact DREAMM is an engine reimplementation.

Genuine question. They don't really detail much on their site.

California law to require operating systems to check your age

A group of people who wouldn't be able to articulate what an operating system is attempt to legislate an anti-feature into operating systems.

We may find that this push only effectuates change in big vendor commercial operating systems, in part because those pushing it are only aware of the cattle feed they eat i.e. iOS Android Windows Mac.

Still, I would hold on to all those old Linux distro installation ISOs just in case.
