The Steam Hardware & Software Survey for June 2026 is out - so here's our usual look over the statistics provided by users who opt-in to it.

    These small variations tend to happen because the data is not perfect. The important thing is to see how it trends over time. When we clean up the data to reduce the noise of the ups and downs, we see that it’s trending up.

    0.3% change on the steam survey is not a “dip” it’s a blip.

      When you only have 4% to begin with, 0.3% is not a blip lol. It’s almost 10% of your install base.

        It’s the steam survey, it’s rough as guts. Why would anyone even post this ‘result’ let alone try to market it as ‘oh no linux is dying fam bro lol’

        It’s 0.3%

          Again - it’s 10% of the total Linux amount. It’s a lot.

          The article isn’t saying Linux is dying, neither am I. Who is?

    Do these surveys happen on a monthly basis? I’m not doing these on a monthly basis. So my data is not here. Could I participate automatically somehow, just by launching the Steam client?

    Bawwww, I was happy to be able to do my part for the steam linux charts for the first time, but it was not the month of the Linux desktop I guess

    With the amount of Tumbleweed submissions on protondb I would have thought BSD would make the list by now
