Why is Linux total at 1.95%, but the most popular distros don't add up to nearly 1.95%? Is it SteamOS making up the difference?

There are many windows machines that never run any game (corporate issued work laptop for example). What this says is that Linux machines are more likely to be personal machines in which you can play games.

What this says is that among gamers using Steam, Linux is at 1.9%, that's all. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you said but I don't see how you draw your conclusion.

I don't know about you, but my work laptop is most definitely not participating in the Steam hardware survey and I'd probably be in trouble if it did.
