    OK. The share of SteamOS within the Linux OS has increased by 3%.

    So the amount of the active steam decks per month is about

    0.4534 *2.32 *0.01 *150000000 ≈ 1,577,832

      If you look into the data Steam OS Holo s listed and it is 45.3%. Arch separately is second at 7.9% and then third is the Flatpak installs across all Linux versions at 6%.

      The changes are more difficult to interpret as Linux is growing overall so changes between Linux distros are difficult. For example a small decline in overall share may still represent an increase in total numbers. While Steam OS is up another 3% points, other distros combined are up more - Ubuntu and PopOS combined are up 5% points. That suggests the Linux growth is split between Steam Deck and PC users rather than purely one or the other dominating.

      @Vincente @mr_MADAFAKA I think no, it’s not. If you go into Steam statistics and ask to only show the results per OS, you can see the statistics only for Linux. There you can see how much of each Linux distro is being used. Arc is not the first.
