Probably because everybody with a Steam Desk shows up as Arch in the survey.
Had you looked up the current stats, you would have known that this is completely false. SteamOS is in massive lead and I used the phrase “general purpose distribution” for a reason.
Ah, I didn’t expect the results to be different when looking at the overview, this is what I saw…
Any way to break down that “Other” and see what it contains? If it counts Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as different operating systems there might be some more Ubuntu versions hiding in there.

I looked at the August 2024 results and SteamOS was not mentioned anywhere in the OS version section.
