As of March, Linux-based operating systems were running Steam on 5.33% of all polled systems. This represents an impressive 3.10% increase over February’s data, which showed a dip in Linux market share from January’s 3.5%.
seems very weird that it jumped that much in two months, i would not trust it blindly for now
With a 24.48% share, the use of SteamOS grew by 0.65% last month alone
that’s nice though, it’s not only valve thingy growing
I have had very good results on desktop and on the Steam Deck. My worst gripe is AMD doesn’t make Adrenaline for Linux. You need CoreCtrl to keep the card from not going 100% balls-to-the-wall all the time on desktop. AMD drivers are native to the kernels which is really nice, but the tinkering and customizing is not nearly as good as WinDoze.
The overhead in both processing and RAM usage is much better in Linux and I think they do multi-threading better than Micro$uck.
Wine/proton just got some improvements related to multithreading and process scheduling that has shown some significant performance gains in some cases vs windoze. Being computer savvy and using windoze is starting to be highly sus behavior. Linux can do pretty much everything most folks need, and it isn’t actively hostile to its users.
This is true. However, my computer runs fine without changing GPU clocks or anything, so I just run it on defaults and stop worrying about not being able to change it.
