Steam says that users in Linux have a overwhelming majority of AMD and Intel GPUs [1]:
- number 1 GPU is AMD VANGOGH Steam Deck APU with 42.05% by itself;
- top 10 Nvidia GPUs have only 9.54%;
- top 10 "not Steam Deck APU, not Nvidia" GPUs are 26.64% of the market, so almost outnumber them 2.8-to-1;

- aidenn0 3y agoI have 7 PCs in my house and (technically) none of them have AMD GPUs. I've only ever loaded steam on one of them: 1 nvidia discrete GPU 1 ATI discrete GPU (it almost certainly isn't supported as it's too old to work with the open-source AMD drivers) 5 different intel iGPUs (1 NUC, one mITX, and 3 laptops, because WTF do I need a discrete GPU in a laptop for).
- Terretta 3y agoI wonder what these 7 PCs have in common that none of them would have AMD GPUs?
- aidenn0 3y ago- 5 of them have no need for discrete graphics; of those 3 are laptops, which (for many years) were basically going to be intel CPUs unless you go out of your way to buy AMD. One other is a NUC (I wanted the Pulse8 CEC module which is available internally only for NUCs), and the last one is used largely as a server; the only low-power mITX board I could find that supported ECC was a Xeon-D. - One was built before AMD sold GPUs. - One was built in a time in which AMD GPUs ran much hotter than Nvidia GPUs at the same performance level, so I would have only bought one if I was more price sensitive.
