Percentages can hide the impact of tendencies. Steam has 132MM monthly active users, assuming the poll is a representative sample. Then, 2% is a bit over 2.6MM people using a linux device. This doesn't include steamOS. That's at least equivalent to an entire small country's population using Linux.

Hey, where u get those numbers from?? I thought they stopped disclosing these a few yrs back. Personally I would've guessed its closer to 150m myself but I'd like to see any reports or more informed speculation if possible.
