@arstechnica we account for laptops but not steam deck .. that seems … not right .. count the steam decks and it’s more than 3 I bet
@hotsauce @arstechnica Given that Steam Decks make up just under 40% of even Valve’s numbers and total Linux share on Steam is only 1.44% on the June 2023 survey, it probably wouldn’t change much.
@lsdninja @arstechnica “let’s not report the number on the single largest reason Linux desktop has seen an increase in usage” steam deck is has a full blown chip it’s not an embedded system. You count laptops .. count others.
