Steam Survey for April 2026 shows Linux still trending well
3 May 2026 at 5:36 pm UTC
The entire point is to cut through the sampling noise. Linear works to a point then the divergence becomes apparent.
Some form of exponent is then key to track it. At some point this will fail and a logistic is needed.

Everyone can extrapolate the line themselves.
It's following a sigmoidal pattern not a heaviside linear ... Heaviside linear is means to approximate a sigmoidal

It can only ever follow a sigmoidal and the is determining the steady state value (it won't be 100%... ) and the peak acceleration/adoption point.

I pasted a few sigmoidal fits for the last few updates and I expected a slight correction this month and it doesn't do anything to the general fit. 2030 for 10% is still on track.

Quoting: mattaraxiaThe trend is insane.

10% by 2030 or so seems inevitable now. I think at that level, it's the point where people can largely stop caring.

I mean, if you just want to see Microsoft lose OK that won't be done.

But at 10%, you'll be able to buy a mouse or a monitor or whatever, and assume its firmware is on LVFS. Any game publisher not bothering to at least test with Proton, will be truly an outlier.

From the consumer's point of view, pragmatically, it'll be about the same as 50%.
ASSUMING the bestfit is correct... yes 2030 for 10% is possible

Simple yes/no "are you in the UK" should do
