Now that Chinese dropped by over 5 percentage points, an increase of just 0.03 points for Linux is actually underwhelming, as can be seen by the English-only Linux users statistic dropping down to 2.5% from 2.7% last month. It's like the switch from Linux 2 to 3 where unlike previous number increases, there was no technical reason, so I don't get the need to switch.Īlso regarding the news, another rise this month was expected, as last month was the all-time high for Chinese language users.

I currently still have Windows 10 installed on the main HD but I'm not bothered with it.ĭon't know if it's wise to mention this but Microsoft already said that they will keep supporting Windows 10 up till at least 2025, by which you would probably already have upgraded and there really is not a big advantage in switching to Windows 11 from what I've heard.

We've seen a lot more posts about people trying out Linux across various social networks, Reddit and more. It's quite likely it's as a result of the Steam Deck, which has given Steam Play Proton and Linux more advertising direct from Valve and the wider media. Still not really clear why we are seeing this surge in users. Going by the last time Valve told us what their monthly active user count was, we can guesstimate that there's around 1,264,200 monthly active users for Linux on Steam.Īccording to the Valve survey when filtered to just Linux, here's what people are using: All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos News Guides Reviews.

This has been relatively big news for a few months now as we covered when it initially hit 1% again, and last month where it actually stuck. We continue to track it each month on our dedicated page but I think it deserves a mention again. I still can't quite believe it but the Linux user share on Steam has not only remained above 1% for three months, it's actually risen again.
