Valve dropped a bit of a bombshell earlier this month when Linux jumped from 1.44% to 1.96% marketshare in the Steam hardware survey. This makes it the second highest marketshare to 2.02% back in February 2013, when Steam for Linux debuted. Much of the increase is likely attributable to the Steam Deck discounts during the Steam Summer Sale.
Meanwhile, the Linux desktop clocked in at a 3.13% desktop OS marketshare on StatCounter, beating its previous all-time high of 3.07% the month prior.
