    And just imagine how high it could go this year if fucking RAM prices weren’t exploding and Steam Machine/Deck/Frame could be sane

    I don’t know if I’m just seeing more of it because I switched to Linux myself, but it certainly feels like Linux has taken a giant step toward the mainstream recently.

    Linux vs macOS steam usage comparison is… kinda nonsensical, since Linux has a whole ecosystem around making windows games run smoothly on Linux, whereas macOS doesn’t - and I don’t see Apple focusing on that at any point, tbh.

      Apples are really, really fucking popular. It isn’t surprising they show up as a small minority on something like this. Macs have a pretty limited game library. But, if you already have a Mac and just want to play something from time to time, would make sense to install Steam and pick something up.

      I doubt the Mac sales are very high per-capita though. Anyone who is into computer gaming is going Windows or Linux.

      Eh, it makes sense for Steam share, this data is entirely gaming users. It would be a mistake to try to relate this to overall market share though.
