I wonder if Steam Deck is helping with that number (but I don’t know if that many of them were sold to make that much impact).

I tried to look it up and they may haveeither sold about 3 million already or are projected to have sold around that many by the end of the year.

That’s huge number for sure! I think what Steam is doing to make playing games on Linux easier is a big factor too.

I've trying to move my main desktop over to Linux for years, and getting a Steam Deck was the last thing to convince me. It's been about 8 months now and I won't got back to Windows.

The only exception is the few Forza games I "own" on the Microsoft store, but that's around every other month at best. Really hope the popularity of the Stream Deck can get support for them.
