I wonder what portion of that is steam decks.
Me too. As one data point, I don't use mine to access the web. However, it did get me confident with Linux as a viable choice for my desktop today. I went on to install it dual boot on my main and rarely if ever open Windows. It's probably a couple months behind in updates.
In the end I just uninstalled windows because every time I opened it, it tried installing all updates and I had to wait 20-30 mins to get to the desktop
Yeah, I just ended up fully disabling windows updates. Still do most stuff on Linux but only boot windows for some specific games
I had no games that wouldn't run on linux so windows was just dead weight
