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 didn't realize Cachy was so popular. Nice! I've been enjoying it. I haven't run regular Arch so I can't comment on the comparison between the two, but Cachy has been nice for gaming.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. Folks on Windows who are skeptical about switching, most things just work now. It's very nice.
