- yissp 6y agoI know it's not representative of the consumer space as a whole, but Linux users apparently make up about 1% of the Steam userbase fwiw https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Steam-Linux-May-2020 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Steam-Li...
- sdenton4 6y agoYeah, but that 1% can choose either the Linux reference hardware or keep buying some other random laptop and throwing Linux on it. So, the market is really rather less than that 1%...
