According to the steam hardware and software survey in May this year, although the proportion of players using Linux has decreased, arch Linux has surpassed Ubuntu as the most popular Linux distribution**
According to the survey results of steam in April 2022, Linux grew by 0.14% to 1.14%. In April, Ubuntu 20.04 lts was still the largest distribution, with a market share of 0.16%, arch Linux of 0.14%, followed by manjaro Linux based on arch of 0.13%.
However, the survey results in May showed that the overall market share of Linux fell slightly by 0.02% to 1.12%, while windows Accounting for 96.68%; MacOS is 2.2%. In other words, it is basically flat, and the absolute users may be even more flat when the overall user base of steam continues to grow. At this stage, when running on the steam platform in the native steam mode other than the KDE desktop experience, it seems that the basic report / steam investigation will not be reported.
Except that the overall Linux percentage is fairly stable, it is quite interesting that in the past month, arch Linux 64 bit has surpassed Ubuntu 20.04 lts to become the most popular Linux distribution. Admittedly, compared with the Ubuntu version, the rolling version of arch Linux is counted as one version, and each version is counted as a different version, but manjaro Linux and other arch Linux derivatives are also counted separately. Unfortunately, for the "other" grouping of steam surveys, it is difficult to perform accurate external calculations.
In any case, it shows that arch Linux is now used by 0.14% of steam users, while Ubuntu 20.04.4 lts and manjaro Linux are used by 0.13% and 0.12%. Meanwhile, Ubuntu 22.04 lts now appears in the list as its new version, which is 0.09%. Or relatively speaking, when only calculating Linux numbers, arch Linux is 12.85%, while Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS is 11.75%. Steamos holo now does appear among Linux users, accounting for 5.23%.
