Nearly 40% of Linux gamers on Steam are on Steam Deck

The latest Steam Hardware & Software Survey is out for June 2023, and it shows just how much the Linux share is now influenced by the Steam Deck.

I switched to exclusively PC game on my Steam Deck when I got it just under a year ago, because while I could get slightly better performance on my 6 year old desktop, that also came with 10x the power draw.

I play steam games on the Steam Deck, but I'm done with Windows on my PCs, so my next build will be on Linux.

There has been a drop in macOS usage. Are macOS users using the Gaming Porting Toolkit to run Steam?

At the moment - If I had the money I would throw them at a Steam Deck and a Milk-V Pioneer Box.

I'm currently running Manjaro on my desktop, mainly for gaming. Other than the increasingly rare hiccup, it works like a dream. I'm definitely going to get myself a Steam Deck soon.

Thank you Valve for making Linux not only a good, but often times better platform for gaming!

I'm kinda surprised that it's less than half! Even as a desktop Linux user myself, that's a stronger showing from desktop Linux users than I expected.

the steam deck convinced me that I could make linux as a desktop daily driver work and so far, about a year in, I'm not disappointed!

the Steam Deck has become the standard budget PC, and normalized Linux gaming 😁

This is good.

I hope more dedicated gaming Linux boxes come along 😁
