Isn't the Linux share of Steam over 10% by this point? I'd be surprised if the Steamdeck makes even 1% of Steam users.

I'd guess that it's from Windows becoming so shit that not even normalfags can put up with it.

No, there aren't more windows users.
You're technically correct in saying it's not an error that the chinese bot the hardware survey, but yeah there isn't more users since the hardware survey is supposed to be reflective of actual users, not warehouse in China that are fired up to fuck the statistics once a month and then never actually play anything.
Frankly, it'd be less embarrassing if it was actually cyber cafes since technically that would still represent users (it doesn't).

Anon is probably wrong about internet cafés, but that drop in Linux user share did correlate with a very brief spike in Simplified Chinese user share (as has been the case with every huge drop in the Linux percentage, just go look up the graphs, I'm tired of spoon-feeding people this one fact over and over), possibly related to Chinese New Year or something (but I don't live in West Taiwan so I wouldn't know for sure).

https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Lmfao if this was windows you'd give it so much shit. Problem with Linux is none wants to solve the compatibility issue.

>>736680339
the point everyone will miss is windows doesn't have this problem

>>736680947
But it does, driver issues happen all the time on Windows, because the GPU vendors don't give a fuck. Nvidia's drivers have been shit for at least the last 2 years, so much so that people were flat out refusing to upgrade to any of the post-5000 series drivers.
Hell, if it were up to AMD, FSR 4 would still be completely locked to AMD 9000 series GPUs, the only reason it works on RDNA 2 and 3 GPUs is because the dll leaked and people used the leak and some of the driver info available in Linux drivers to create a dll that works on older GPUs.
