Much of the growth is likely from the sales of the steam deck.

Archive: https://archive.today/Mygkt

From the post: Back in February Steam on Linux was at a 1.45% marketshare, then was corrected to 2.33% for Linux gaming in March, 2.27% for April, a nice jump to 2.69% for Linux gaming in May, and June came in at 2.57% for the Linux gaming population as a percent of Steam users. The July numbers were published this evening and show a new recent high for Linux gamers.

That's what I'm thinking too, and also the steam deck is pretty good, I have to say.

They are very interesting. I have been considering getting one as a "travel pc". They can dual boot, they can run multiple versions of *nix. External devices apparently are easy and if you want you can load into SteamOS and play games locally or if you have wifi or a wireless keyboard + dock and a tv.

I think it is probably a perfect PC if you are doing a RV thing but still want to game sometimes. At least I have not seen many better ways to do it with such a small footprint and enough power + battery, etc... If anyone has other suggestions I am open to them.

I would really like to have a RV at some point and it would be cool to just toss one into a dock and have it work on a small tv with a remote keyboard/mouse or controller or both. All without having to build a cube-pc or something.
