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 That's a pretty big chunk, thanks for sharing. I feel overall this will only help the open source Linux movement for people. I know a few people who are anxiously awaiting an installable SteamOS again for their gaming rigs. #SteamDeck #SteamOS
@gamingonlinux hmm thought it'd be higher than that. That's good news!
@gamingonlinux I expected this number to be higher. Neat
@gamingonlinux they should be. Steam on Linux still takes a small performance hit and you can easily dual boot on a full pc.
@gamingonlinux Damn that's a pretty big win for #Linux! Everyone used to say gaming on this platform would always be behind..
@zazaserty @gamingonlinux But now the tables are turned 
I've been playing games on Linux for a few days and I found that some games even run better than that running on Windows
