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

we didnt get more % linux users but one thing is interesting: on the steam hardware survey windows lost % in all eurolanguages! it gained in trukish, chinese and other asian languages. so the boycott is having an effect. feel free to post this info anywhere

Thank to then activating proton on linux i think i will switch to linux. I just love playing AAA games to much.

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

probably because the internationalisation efforts are usually worse

This is similar to the Linux 5,1% market share registered by Pornhub last year:

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.
It's a random sampling of devices. That's why looking at the English only numbers are more consistent. Sometimes the randomness is heavily skewed to China, and sometimes has very little China. See here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/#languagesanchor

If it was counted for every locale it'll be more.

I mean if that's the case I'll switch back to Windows just to remind Satya of what his company's name truly means.
