minus-squaregorysubparbagel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·7 months agoWorth keeping in mind that the steam deck uses a distro based on arch, so it might be inflating the arch numbers in that steam survey.
minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoI don’t think it is. Mint is based on Ubuntu but still shows up as mint. Arch is very popular
minus-squareSkull giver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months agoThe lack of a separate SteamOS entry does make me think that SteamOS is reported as Arch.
minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoNah in that category it was separating steamOS. Here is the stats for operating system for Linux.
minus-squareSkull giver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoHuh weird, it didn’t on my screen. I guess there’s a different screen with a more precise breakdown of the various Linux distros?
