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.
Overall the Steam Deck has kind of taken over Linux gaming and June 2023’s statistic are pretty striking. For the last few months SteamOS was sitting in the low to mid 20% but it seems there’s been a big uptick over the last month because it’s jumped rather a lot.
According to Valve’s stats:
SteamOS Holo 64 bit 39.33% +14.01%
Arch Linux 64 bit 8.33% -1.66%
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS 7.87% -1.85%
Freedesktop.org 6.02% -1.25%
Linux Mint 21.1 64 bit 4.55% -0.91%
“Manjaro Linux” 64 bit 4.37% -1.42%
Other 29.54% -3.38%
