It’s interesting how fragmented the Linux user base is in the survey. Excluding steam deck from the equation, the visible versions of Ubuntu are getting roughly 18.6%, Arch is getting like 14% of the desktop and Mint 21.3 getting 8.5%. The Flatpak version does put confusion into the data (hiding 11% of desktop versions) and the missing “other” 22.94% group accounts for 39% of the desktops so there may be lots of other version fragments hidden away, but regardless no single distro version seem to dominate.
Most Linux users on Steam use Arch btw.
SteamOS 3 is Arch BTW.
most desktop users
Mostly because Arch is Arch while Ubuntu and such are divided into the different release versions.
They split manjaro out
In the end they all are Arch, Debian, RedHat
But don’t forget our friends at Gentoo and SUSE.
that’s true, they’re also most welcome
If you count different versions of Ubuntu separately, then yes.
Most as in SteamOS + Arch = 49.25%.

It’d be nice to see the whole list.
Close enough.
@robocall @mr_MADAFAKA Steamdeck is arch based, isn’t?
its a different os in the survey, real arch linux is really this popular.
Why isn’t it listed here?
SteamOS Holo is the Steam Deck
