I wonder if the Steam Deck has pushed Linux above Mac in terms of Steam userbase?
I tried, unsuccessfully, to find stats on the matter.
Edit: As Sayrus points out below you can click on the rows in the Steam Hardware Survey to show more information.

- bakugo 3y agohttps://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ The answer is yes. Mac is currently at 1.43% while Linux is at 1.63% (43% of which is Steam Deck)
- Bishop_ 3y agoValve actually collects really good stats on stuff like this https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw... Looks like linux barely beats out macos
- Sayrus 3y agoSteam publishes stats on this[1]. You can expand "OS Version" to see the repartitions between MacOS, Linux and Windows and their respective versions.

- fullstop 3y agoI was there, but didn't know that I could click on OS Version. Thanks! I also wonder if Linux or Mac OS users are more or less likely to answer the surveys. Unless they've changed how it works, it is a pop up asking if you want to be recorded.
