Nearly 40% of Linux gamers on Steam are on Steam Deck

The latest Steam Hardware & Software Survey is out for June 2023, and it shows just how much the Linux share is now influenced by the Steam Deck.

@gamingonlinux And what do you think about that? Is it good or bad?

@Luisgd @gamingonlinux Good. Proton works for any distro, and developers targeting the Steam Deck will benefit everyone.

@Luisgd @gamingonlinux In the ideal world we would all be using Linux :P With Linux staying in the safe sub-4% in Steam hardware surveys for years, I would guess that a ton of these people need to be the first-time Linux gamers and that will only make the environment better for everyone. The only risk with Proton being "too good" I see is replacing all Linux native versions with Steam Deck verified for the future game releases.
