Linux is down slightly after a peak month, but probably that month had Linux over-represented. This month we see English down a bit too, Chinese is up a little.

I copied the data from gamingonlinux and put it into my own sheet with an exponential trendline (red) and a moving average line (green) to smooth out the variance of the survey. We're definitely trending upwards.

Here's the csv data

0.78, 0.72, 0.80, 0.82, 0.82, 0.77, 0.82, 0.81, 0.84, 0.76, 0.79, 0.80, 0.83, 0.83, 0.81, 0.83, 0.90, 0.83, 0.87, 0.89, 0.91, 0.88, 0.86, 0.89, 0.94, 0.90, 0.90, 0.78, 0.91, 0.81, 0.85, 0.85, 0.86, 0.89, 1.00, 1.02, 1.05, 1.13, 1.16, 1.11, 1.06, 1.02, 1.00, 1.14, 1.12, 1.18, 1.23, 1.27, 1.23, 1.28, 1.44, 1.38, 1.38, 1.27, 0.84, 1.32, 1.47, 1.44, 1.96, 1.82, 1.63, 1.39, 1.91, 1.97, 1.95, 1.76, 1.94, 1.90, 2.32, 2.08, 2.08, 1.92, 1.87, 2.00, 2.03, 2.29, 2.06, 1.45, 2.33, 2.27, 2.69, 2.57, 2.89, 2.64, 2.68, 3.05, 3.20, 3.58, 3.38, 2.23, 5.33, 4.52

Woo can't wait to hit 200%! I think that means everyone runs Linux and runs Steam inside Docker lol
