    The irony is that you have to thank Microsoft for it.

        It’s okay, it’s AMD, so it mostly works. I had trouble with my Bluetooth, but then remembered that I don’t really care enough to fix it.

      $ cat /etc/os-release

      PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
      (...)
      

      Because this is how distributions declare their names

      Just a guess, maybe those don’t have explicitly set distribution names and are basically named by Valve themselves.

      Because that’s people not using Arch Linux but “Arch Linux”.

          It’s actually Ubuntu with the default Arch wallpaper.

    For all the valve bootlickers here: while it is good that they are now supporting linux remember that if the shares still look favorable to windows it’s thanks to company like valve who for decades promoted proprietary software.

    Awesome. Will be interesting to see the November December numbers with unpaid Win10 support ending.

      My prediction: Ten percent increase for Windows 11 with 25 percent still on 10 and barely an increase for Linux.

      I hope I’m wrong.

        I don’t know. Most of the increase above appears to be win 10 users. Win 10 lost 1.09% and the percentage gain was close to evenly split between linux and win11 with a little going to MacOS.

        I could see a bunch of people paying $15 to keep win 10 going , but not that much.

          I’m not expecting anyone to pay to keep getting updates. Most of them will just keep using Windows 10. There are still people refusing to leave Windows 7.

    Nearly a third are coming from the Steam Deck and other Steam OS handhelds. Impressive.

      There are phone vendors like murena (not a manufacturer i think) who have some privacy OS preinstalled so you dont have a rooted phone that gets blocked for “privacy concerns”

      If you are unsure if the apps you need work you can install waydroid on linux
