Steam market share is honestly probably a decent metric for adoption rate of Linux as a whole.
The fluctuation in Simplified Chinese use makes me pretty suspect here. It was nearly cut in half in one month and suddenly 20% of Steam's users that used Simplified Chinese just didn't exist.
Honestly that big of a fluctuation in regional selection tells me none of the other data means anything.
And that's important because?
Linux can be used to play commercial games > more people daily drive to linux > more companies port their software to linux > even more people switch to linux > Windows/macOS duopoly breaks, losing to open source alternatives
I'm not saying playing call of duty on the deck will make windows fall, but it's a start
daily drive to Linux
Since when have you needed to commute to use Linux? 🤣
Daily drive linux *
Lmao my bad
Because the more market share leads to better hardware and driver support
