    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.

      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.

        Yeah sorry. I meant i will probably switch to linux because they activated proton for most Linux distros(or all, im not really versed in this). I didn’t switch yet because so many AAA games didn’t work natively on steam and i like to play them. Hope this is a bit more clear 😅
