- lelanthran 3y agoThat's a statistic that is irrelevant to my point. It is not a statistic of Linux desktop share, it's a statistic of existing Linux users, not windows migrations.
- weberer 3y ago>It is not a statistic of Linux desktop share Yes it is. The Y axis is "Percentage of Steam users". The fact that the Linux percentage is increasing means that the the percentage of Windows users are decreasing. The graph shows a trend of migrating from Windows to Linux.
