For those thinking it may be due to Steam Deck with SteamOS, it's unlikely, at least not directly. StatCounter gather their info from web traffic across over 1.5 million sites globally. I doubt all that many browse the web regularly on Deck.

But also Steam hardware survey shows Linux at only 2%, and Steam Deck I think was only half of that? So these numbers for desktop usage are higher than what Steam is seeing.
