Valve published the results of the March 2024 Steam Hardware & Software Survey, revealing the most popular CPUs, GPUs, and operating systems its customers use to play various games.
Windows dominance isn’t surprising but I was guessing it would be more like 3 or 4% because of the steam deck but I forgot to consider that even among windows users, the gamers using steam are a small percentage so 4% of general Linux market share is expected to be lowered when it comes to steam users. But I am more surprised that macos has a similar share to Linux, I always assumed it is lower especially with steam deck around.

Keep in mind, 4% is 1 in 25 gamers.
