I think a good amount of that is gonna be Steam Decks, maybe to a lesser extent custom APU-based builds for things like HTPCs.
To be honest, if I was looking at building a new Linux based gaming rig now, it would likely be all AMD, especially given their recent open source moves with the EFI/Agisa or whatever it's called. Not to mention the excellent linux driver support for their GPUs in comparison to Nvidia.
Just wish AMD would standardise their GPU naming scheme because it's confusing for people like me who aren't following it ☹️ the last time I understood their naming scheme there were RX460/RX470/RX480, then next year RX560/RX570/RX580, but now it's RX 7600 7900XT, 7900XTX 😵
