If Linux market share on Steam were counted for English only users, it would be 5.75%, compared to the overall Linux market share

That's not so far off from Pornhub's Year In Review 2024 that had the Linux share of the desktop space at 5.1%.
Just sayin.

Interesting. How was this data extracted?
AFAIK Linux is not doing well in China, and China has been known to skew the Steam stats a lot before. China uses bots heavily on Steam for mining in games.
Anyways it's cool that we can see Linux is doing well on Steam now, despite influential factors like China.It would be interesting to see the amount of purchases made on Linux vs other operating systems. I think that's the number that counts more than anything else.

mining in games
What do they mine? Is it just farming progress to sell accounts later or something else?

Pretty much. They also sell gold, crafting materials, and items for real money. If you spend a bit of time playing just about any mmo, you’ll see bots and gold sellers all the time.

In a lot of mmos, people will farm in game resources and sell them for real money.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm guessing mining for lootboxes and items. Never underestimate people's ability find money in an absurd waste of resources.

I would absolutely not use Windows for pornhub. There's a 99% chance Satya is watching you masturbate.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah farming or mining whatever you can do.
They sell everything for real money, complete accounts with upgraded characters, or rare items or whatever has value in a game. -

I would venture to say a very large portion of Pornhub consumption is on mobile.

I remember the year was 2009 and people were joking about porn on mobile... who is laughing now lol

Sales numbers ($) by platform would be interesting to see too.

I was in the Navy at the time, so it was actually "porn on iPod."

While I do agree, I dunno how meaningful or realistic data it would offer when some users switch between platforms.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I work with/in (giggity) indie devs. One dev I work with has a slack bot spamming out sales data daily which contains breakdowns by platform.
For his indie game, across the last 7 days it's roughly 94.3% Windows, 2.0% Mac, and 3.7% Linux. The game has native builds for all 3 platforms, including Mac's ARM chips.

The stats are published. It's close to 90%. The 5% linux is more like 0.5% overall.
