    I think the “Ubuntu Core 22” means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.

    If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses core22 as its base.

    One of the last conversations I had on Reddit was with a guy complaining about how crap Linux is, that he installed Ubuntu and the desktop didn’t even work, it went straight to a terminal, and after some prodding he said that he couldn’t even get APT to work, and it hit me: “You didn’t install Ubuntu Core, their embedded OS version, did you?” No response.

          I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core

          There’s a Build Your Core button. And that takes you to a docs page that lets you download a pre-built image. I think it’s pretty obvious that this is not the Desktop Ubuntu.

          Vector databases as the data foundation for generative AI applications

          is what I see when I go to ubuntu.com on mobile. Seriously? Where is the ISO Canonical?! Why do I have to open the menu and choose Products -> Ubuntu OS -> Ubuntu Desktop to reach the ISO?

            The money comes from corporate customers, that’s the sad truth. If you go to RedHat’s website, their Worsktation option is hidden in menus as well. Fedora doesn’t seem to be mentioned at all.

    I mean, I can kinda see it being useful for people wanting to sell a wee box that does nothing but launch a game on steam.

    Why is arch at the top tho? Apparently Steam OS is its own point, are those the Steam OS clones also based on Arch? Or maybe, people just accepted the superiority of Arch (/s)

      The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they’d be much higher than Arch.

        steam is based on arch so you would have to add those two and then compare and that is 48.7 so all the rest would have to be debian.

          by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.

          From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.

          2-3% might be OpenSuse

      I’ve seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.

        I changed friends to mainly the ones here on lemmy, specifically the german communities, and I was surprised that there’s an actual kinda cult here, just by the germans/ich_iel’ers, with it’s own community, and also a lot of members in Matrix. So I didn’t really see people switch to arch, but rather I changed friends to the much more nerdy type where arch is more common.

            Well … I moved away from the okay ones and was finally able to drop the right-conservative (with straight up proud nazi friends) “friends”, which I basically had to have because otherwise I would have been literally alone in school. And so I searched for new friends, either online on Lemmy/Matrix or offline, in uni.

              holy crap. I can’t imagine actually knowing someone being public about nazi stuff. There were folks with like confederate flags but it was a little after the dukes of hazard and I don’t think they had the meaning to it that has resurfaced in this millenium.

                I couldn’t believe that either, until I met that person. I’m just glad they were in the grade below me, so no direct contact.

    I have fedora server edition set up headless primarily to host docker containers and have a noVNC headless steam streaming container on it, does that count?

        It works but the native steam streaming is better, I would recommend a full os with steam running on it and just put the containers on that, you will save a lot of headaches the only real benefit of what I have is you don’t have to run the desktop itself unless you’re using it, since I don’t actually use it much It is fine for my very specific use case.

      💯😂 Sadly I imagine it’s probably a sub-distro like Mint or Pop erroneously coming up as the Ubuntu it forks off, not an army of Bringi out there, but you never know…

    I just noticed how that Arch is in quotes and “64 bit” was added. Does anyone use 32 Bit Arch for gaming? Is it even possible to run Steam on that?

    And why not go with:

    Arch Linux (rolling-release) 64 bit
