That Linux OS user count is extremely low. Especially if you consider that would include all the Steam Decks as well.

Would it? I'd assume most deck users take advantage of both PC and steamdeck and are more likely to answer from PC (which majority is windows)

Do you really think steam deck has a high enough percentage of the player base to make a difference to those numbers?

It actually comprises ~40% of the Linux user count who participated in the survey, so it's a relatively big number (270k Steam Deck). Of course not big enough to make that much of a difference in 36M daily users.

If you consider 36 millions peak online, 1.87% seems rather normal, especially since it's for the only thing that linux isn't so good at, gaming.

the DirectX 12 metric is useless, even 10 year old cards have DirectX 12, i would like to see the feature levels, especially 12_2 (GeForce 20,30,40 series), 12_1 (GeForce 900, 10, 16) and 12_0 (older cards)

As a W10 user, I wonder why I still refuse to update to W11 everytime my pc boots and asks me to

I'm still on W10 as well, one of my friends recently upgraded to 11, and experienced frequently bluescreens. Tried formatting it to W11 and still experienced blue screens. So then he formatted and went back to 10, and no bluescreens since.

And I keep on hearing mixed information, some people say W11 is better for gaming today, and other people say it's worse for gaming today and still needs more tweaks.
