    Not much of a surprise to see people have bounced off.

    It's also possible Linux usage didn't shrink, but the Steam userbase simply grew faster, with people getting new Windows 11 computers for Christmas

    As the article says:

    If more Steam users were active in general thanks to the year-end holidays or for taking advantage of winter sale discounts, Steam on Linux at 3.19% still may be similar or larger in absolute terms than November.

    CachyOS at 8% of users, thats actually impressive considering its quite new and unknown. At least I felt it was but the numbers say no.

    CachyOS actually grew a lot through 2025.

    They reported: Discord: 20,500 members (+355.6%) Reddit: 30,000 members (+867.7%) Forum: 8,500 members (+466.7%)

    And that "ISO downloads reached a peak of 133.000 per month and a total of 847.000". Pretty impressive.
