Now if only they could fix steamwebhelper so that it doesn't chew 100% cpu in the background and prevent Steam from opening random windows ***WHILE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKIN' GAME***.
Even more impressive: this is happening *all the while* Apple has been pushing for "Game Porting Toolkit". (their own Wine-based framework with their own D3Dmetal translation layer; Proton-/Crossover-like).
Speaks great about the level of polishing that Valve has done on the SteamOS experience.
I've gotten almost all my friends to get steam decks. Between the bragging I can game in my bed and actually seeing it in action everyone I know thinks about getting one now.
Sometimes I find myself thinking how much bigger the number of users on Linux would be if people actively participated in hardware survey. It doesn't enter my head that there are more active "Steam Decks" than Linux desktops with Steam installed.
1) calm down and don’t reply to me like that or get blocked 2) well DUH, it’s obvious the data is from Valve the article is specifically talking about Steam dummy
It might also be related to it being summer more people being outside and on the go. There are less people gaming on a Desktop PC in Summer. I think Linux bigger market share in the Steam Survey often correlated with summer.( As well as certain events like the release of proton or the steam deck).
It seems that all of the big AAA title releases I've been interested in lately have been available on linux (steam/proton) day one. I'd say the Steam Deck had the desired effect of making devs pay attention to linux, and I'm here for it. I finally deleted my windows partition last year and have not missed it at all.
Gotta look forward to the new excuses for not supporting Linux by game devs. They always supported MacOS. And claimed Linux share was too low. Now they support MacOS and Linux has a higher share.
@firecat The difference is that elon has an incentive to lie an can easily be proven wrong... The data that valve gets from us is purpose bound and sold to game devs at best but afaik not to third parties. If you have different numbers feel free to call out Valve but otherwise you are connecting dots that are not even on the same paper and right on the edge of false accusations.... @eddiecsilva @gamingonlinux
