= 83% growth in 2 years.That's very impressive, I suppose Steam Deck is a major reason for this, not only because Steam OS is native on it, but also because many games are now tested to work on it either natively or through Proton before launch.
This has the side effect that using the Steam client on independent Linux systems also generally work better.I admit I'm boycotting everything American because of the current administration, the only exception I have is my Steam client.
Because with Linux there is simply no real alternative. Except maybe if you can get it on GOG and get it to work manually. -

3 PCs converted and using a steam deck. Admittedly the going is pretty rough on the 13 year old PC but hey it runs some lightweight stuff. I think we have an old laptop around here thats coming up next for conversion. Probably not worth installing steam on that one though.

Wow, when I started using Linux in 2005, there were an estimated 10 million desktop users.
