Wait, If Windows is 96.21% and Linux is 1.96%, then MacOS is 1.83%?
Wouldn't that make Linux 2nd place?

MODERATORS
Before opening the comments, I spent several seconds contemplating if I should mention this, or if people would think I was some pedantic nerd dickhead and downvote me to hell. Glad someone else already covered this.
We still think you're a pedantic need dickhead, but we upvote you for that!
It's actually second now.
Linux now has more steam users than MacOS
Which, as an ex MacOS user, is a mindboggling fact it took this long.
I guess people just trying to do things with what they have. I had a friend who plays LoL on a Mac. She also used Steam on it but there were very few games.
Math don't add up, Linux would be second because whatever else would only have 1.83.
Second place baby!
Is that before or after Steam Deck users? Would it be higher than 1.96 if we included steam deck in the count?
People are installing Windows 11 en-masse on that Steam Deck!
Even if it's Steam Deck, this just goes to show that desktop Linux is totally viable; it just needs more commitment from companies
Maybe this is the year for desktop Linux!
Windows 10 has support into next year. Personally I use Linux and Windows but I'm sticking with gaming on Windows until support runs out. I think next year will be the year of linux
