This is the best summary I could come up with:


While there's been a clear drop, the Linux user share on Steam for June 2024 still remains about 2% showing the clear upwards trend overall.

Interestingly, this is another month where Simplified Chinese as a language on Steam saw a jump, and quite often we see Linux drop when this happens.

According to Valve the latest operating system details are:

For Linux, the Steam Deck with SteamOS continues propping up the numbers with it being the most popular by far.

Freedesktop SDK 23.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit 6.71% +0.66%

Ubuntu Core 22 64 bit (Steam Snap) 2.97% +0.35%
