Steam is a massive worldwide market, and the Steam Deck isn’t offered everywhere. Chinese users for example have to import it, so not many are used there.
I got the hardware survey on my Windows PC, but not on my Steamdeck. So I wonder if there is only 1 survey per user, and most people don’t use a steamdeck exclusively?
I could swear it was higher earlier this year/last year but looking at the survey results, Linux climbed to 2% this survey. I think maybe that half remembered headline was something like “Linux is higher than MacOS at 1.5% market share” or something like that instead?
Surprised it’s not higher. I would have thought more than 2% of people on Steam were using Steam Deck.

Well maybe Linux most likely to hit ~7% global OS market share and total 5%+ Steam Survey user share next 10 years (its just prediction)
Over 15% marketshare in India
thats amazing, why is that?
Dunno. I don’t live there.
I hope it languishes around 3-4% at most, if it does get 7%-10% enshitification inevitably ensues and it will grow more and get worse
Deck sold well but there are billions of Steam users.
~35 million concurrent active users.

I don’t think the 2% figure includes the steam deck, but I might be wrong
