    Chill! That’s only 2% in total. We can feel happy for Valve doing the pioneer work and maintaining software for Linux.

      Percentages can hide the impact of tendencies. Steam has 132MM monthly active users, assuming the poll is a representative sample. Then, 2% is a bit over 2.6MM people using a linux device. This doesn’t include steamOS. That’s at least equivalent to an entire small country’s population using Linux.
