In the latest Steam study in February 2025, the number of Linux users decreased significantly: the market share decreased from 2.06% in January to only 1.45%. This fall 0.61% is one of the lowest ratios of Linux games in recent years.
However, this fall may not be related to real reduction, but with incorrect data. The survey also showed a strong increase in the number of users who choose Chinese language simply the main language – up to 50 % of the total number of Steam users.
Among Linux users, Steamos is still the most popular distribution, largely thanks to Steam Deck. AMD continues to dominate Linux gaming devices: about 70 % of systems use AMD processors, including systems used in Steam Deck and PC -based PC.
