Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey
The Steam Hardware & Software Survey is out for October 2024, and the Linux user share has gone back up again to exactly 2%.
You're viewing a single thread.
How do I take the survey? I never seem to get the popup.
Random users are asked each month. If you get chosen you'll get a popup in the Steam client asking if you'd like to participate.
Yep! And it's per account. Both of my Linux machines are in this months data!
Weird that it'd be random when they could just ask every user. Would give a more accurate breakdown on certain categories.
That might bias the results towards gaming cafes and people building test machines. Cases where an account is used but a single snapshot doesn't necessarily reflect what they normally use or that would capture the same machine multiple times.
I think Steam automatically uploads your hardware and software spec
(Only certain users, and only if you consent)
Ok, so a blue username normally means OP, a green one means mod. What the heck is a red username?
