Note, the source will change every month. That's why I made a screenshot, so the discussion in this thread makes sense in the future. Source: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux

Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit got +3.34% from previously 0%, while Linux Mint 22.1 64 bit lost -2.71%. So the rest of the 0.65% are either new users or upgraders from even older Linux Mint versions. Whatever the reason is, these two entries should have been a single one as Linux Mint 22 with 8.84%.

Also what is the category "Other"? It's almost 20% big, so this is not something to wave over. Bazzite got a good start, hopefully it will grow further. I'm surprised that CachyOS is this popular, much more than Ubuntu and Bazzite.

I have no idea why some distros name is between quotes, maybe the list is dictated by Mini Me in Steam HQ or is it some kind of sarcasm?

The ones in quotes seem to not have version numbers.

There are 2 fedora 42 editions on the list, one with quotes, one without

That's probably how the distro reports it in /etc/os-release or wherever they're pulling it from. My distro isn't on the list so I can't really poke around.
