According to the survey results, SteamOS lost about 3% of Linux market share, while Fedora, Bazzite and CachyOS gained. So, this change is not because of new Deck users.

    I mean sure, but that's just talking about this month right? Like a month to month change. I was more talking about the general rise of Linux in the past couple of years, which is what the OC I responded to felt like they were discussing.

    So ya, this month is not due to new Steam Decks (which is probably easy to assume given its age) but how much is the rise in Linux overall. I was arguing it probably doesn't matter much to game devs as long as Linux itself is growing.
