2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    only a fraction of us are included in the steam statistics, which would make such data not very representative

    And since not all users get the survey I imagine even this isn’t as accurate as it could be - I would guess at least.

      In that case steam doesn’t need to send the survey to all users, but only to a randomized sample, and it will statistically represent the whole of steam users.

      Can’t they just automatically collect this data if the user gives permission?
