Note, the source will change every month. That’s why I made a screenshot, so the discussion in this thread makes sense in the future. Source: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux

Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit got +3.34% from previously 0%, while Linux Mint 22.1 64 bit lost -2.71%. So the rest of the 0.65% are either new users or upgraders from even older Linux Mint versions. Whatever the reason is, these two entries should have been a single one as Linux Mint 22 with 8.84%.

Also what is the category “Other”? It’s almost 20% big, so this is not something to wave over. Bazzite got a good start, hopefully it will grow further. I’m surprised that CachyOS is this popular, much more than Ubuntu and Bazzite.

    I’ll probably try to transfer my Windows license (not install) to my old horrible laptop, since dual-booting seems like it’d cause more trouble than it’s worth. Just gotta clear the nvram in case there are any BIOS rootkits lying in wait that I imagine I have by now. I’m already on Linux for the laptop I’m writing this on.

    EDIT: I’m not gonna flush my NVRAM. Seems that if I’ve seen no signs of malware then I regressing to the factory version of the BIOS would put me in more risk than otherwise.
