Therefore Macos and Troonix users switched to Chadows.

Its simple mathematics, people, unlike Troonix, its not needlessly complicated.

For those who don't think about Linux outside of the occasional shitpost thread and are therefore unaware of the context: Linux usage on Steam has been trending upwards for a long time, but the Linux usage reported in the March 2026 survey was abnormally high, so the drop from March to April likely brings it closer to the "real" number. But it's still the second-highest ever recorded, and more than 1% higher than it was in January.

Bazzite has a separate entry from Fedora. The list does seem slightly messed up.

It's the new ubuntu, and from my personal experience one of the distros you could safely recommend to someone and that person wouldn't have a miserable experience unlike with ubungu or arch.

Installed CachyOS the other day and finally got linuwu-sense working reliably. That allows my laptop to run at full power as if it were using Acer's Predator Sense on Windows.

Look at these fucking Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmarks. Both are maxed out settings, DLSS turned off in Windows, as evenly matched as possible. As a former Fedora user, I am loving this distro even more. I haven't really experienced a big learning curve yet and ChatGPT is brilliant with troubleshooting.

>still over 10% of English-language users

>>738155107
Noticed that ambient occlusion was mismatched, so I changed that in Windows and got them actually matched this time. 14549 frames rendered. CachyOS is still 30.6% higher than Windows 11.

The previous month looked (and still looks) like bullshit, but the latest data is pretty much in line with the post-Windows 10 support trend. Of course it won't increase linearly forever, but I think Linux English-only is staying in the double digits.
>>
>>738156447
it's really not
linux's growth is incredible considering it's all people installing shit on their computers
there's a wall on linux adoption now that comes from OEMs not having a distro to ship with hardware for all the retarded normies
steamOS will be that, once it's out windows will start bleeding hard

I'm not a PCfag but you've to be the biggest retard to use LEE NUX for gaming purposes.

Cope harder. A 0.81% move is very noticeable in those stats, it's like weighing 1000 people and suddenly seeing the average weight drop by several pounds. the survey is reliable enough to trust big changes like this.

you expect to not be insulted after admitting that you think survey results are tantamount to a fucking hard census?

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey. The larger the margin of error, the less confidence one should have that a poll result would reflect the result of a simultaneous census of the entire population. The margin of error will be positive whenever a population is incompletely sampled and the outcome measure has positive variance, which is to say, whenever the measure varies.

>>738158360
The previous month was an outlier, so the drop more likely reflects the data just becoming less fucked. Basically just look at the graph you're refusing to look at. It's still double what it was about a year ago.

>>738158627
Every survey has some margin of error. That doesn't mean "durr ignore all changes". If the change was tiny, like 0.05%, then yes it could easily be sampling luck, but 0.81% is big enough to be meaningful.

again, you don't fucking know what a margin of error is, look at any political poll and you'll see each one trading multiple percentage points

>>738159093
Learn what a margin of error actually is. Political polls usually survey 1000 randos and have 3% error. Steam surveys hundreds of thousands of people every single month, their error bar is tiny.
>>
>>738158796
How is it not?
I say this as someone who uses windows but really for the vast majority of PC users Linux would be fine
The only really issue is that everything ships with windows and few see a reason to move over.

You don't even see Mac OS hipsters on /v/ but since.being contrarian has been /v/ culture for well over 15 years if not 20+ by now, Linus was the safe hipster option since Apple is too gay for /v/ which is already too gay compared to early 00's videogame forums.

You're not wrong (and no I'm not the other guy) but this is the same survey in which Linux went −1.15% from January to February in what was very clearly not people leaving Linux but rather billions of Chinese people suddenly logging on and all using Windows 10 (which is why Windows 11 also went down, and no, it wasn't people switching back to Windows 10 all at once and then going back to Windows 11 again a month later).
And no, I don't know why Linux went +3.30% from February to March which we can see was far more than the expected post-Chinese-New-Year return to normal. March is also an outlier in the English-only graph as seen in >>738155219. Did that many people actually switch to Linux in March and then switch back in April? Why would that happen in March 2026 of all months? It's not as if Steam Deck had just released; in fact I'm pretty sure it's been completely out of stock for a while.
I think it's more likely that the March results were bugged. There have been visibly incorrect survey results before, and sometimes Valve has corrected them. I think it was the December survey when things were adding up to more than 100%, for example, and then the results were adjusted a few days after they were initially released.
The drop in reported Linux usage from March to April is from a crazy outlier back down to approximately where the overall trend says it should be, or at least a lot closer to it.
You're not wrong that big changes usually mean something, but unless you have a reason that thousands upon thousands of people would switch to Linux and then switch back in March/April 2026 in particular, I don't know what the story here even is supposed to be. Linux has been trending upwards for a long time and nobody is schizo enough to believe that SUDDENLY everyone got tricked into using Linux and then went back to Windows (and if you take the graph at face value then it still shows a lot of those people not switching back).
