    I can’t remember who does a more comprehensive survey, but the overall Linux gaming share is ≈4%. So, Steam users are about half of that, if I’m understanding correctly.

      Overall gaming share is 4%? I think you mean linux useragents account for about 4% of website traffic at measured points- which is not indicative of anything because my crawler also pretends to be things it isn’t.

        No, I mean 4% of the overall Linux desktop share does some amount of gaming. This is based on a survey, and I can’t for the life of me remember who does it. It will show up again, with updated totals, on one of these communities eventually.

      so a disproportionately large amount (2x) of Linux gamers don’t use steam? that doesn’t sound right to me with how good steam is on Linux
