Linux vs macOS steam usage comparison is… kinda nonsensical, since Linux has a whole ecosystem around making windows games run smoothly on Linux, whereas macOS doesn’t - and I don’t see Apple focusing on that at any point, tbh.

    Apples are really, really fucking popular. It isn't surprising they show up as a small minority on something like this. Macs have a pretty limited game library. But, if you already have a Mac and just want to play something from time to time, would make sense to install Steam and pick something up.

    I doubt the Mac sales are very high per-capita though. Anyone who is into computer gaming is going Windows or Linux.
