    Damn, it’s about to pass MacOS! How is it that I know a dozen Mac users and absolutely no one who uses Linux?

      You don’t know anyone who has a steam deck? I’m guessing the Linux numbers are partly due to that.

        Steam Deck is primarily a console so I doubt those would register here. But no, I don’t know anyone who has one anyway.

          I’ve used my Steam Deck to browse the web and watch videos. I can’t say if I’m typical for a Steam Deck user.

        According to Steam’s own hardware survey, SteamOS makes up not more than a quarter of Linux systems even on Steam. So even when it comes to gaming, Desktop Linux is a much bigger factor than SteamOS and consequently the Steamdeck.

      I knew a lot when I was around a lot of graphic artists but now I can only think of one person who uses a mac laptop. A lot of people I know don’t use computers at all though. just phones.
