    Very few linux installs include steam

    Millions of sold Steam Deck units run Linux and default to Steam. It’s easily the most popular personal computing device running GNU/Linux out there.

    steam users

    So regular users, “outside of the hard-core users and tech nerds”.

        I think you’re forgetting about AWS, GCP, Azure.

        No, I’m not. Had you read my comments correctly, you’d know that I was stating repeatedly that Ubuntu is popular for containers but that’s is a completely different topic.

      i wonder how many old thinkpads are still running linux… Honestly, it’s possible some arbitrary single model may still outnumber steam decks.
