The Steam data is pretty noisy. We got a big spike two months ago and now the anomaly went away. The import part is to pay attention to the trend, something that is quite the oppose of "falls hard":

    Thats a positive trend and we still have the Steam Machine ahead of us. The writing is on the wall.

    It's percentages, with English speakers using Linux at 2x the rate of the world average. The world average is mostly drug down down by China, which has almost 0% Linux use.

    Some of that gets more apparent when you see all the different graphs here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/
