The year of the Linux desktop™ finally arrived! 😅
This is huge! Just slightly less than “Unknown”!
Those are people who know how to evade data collection. We count those as ours.
Are these actual installs or are they counting steambox?
We should. Not counting them is like not counting all the laptops/PCs with windows preinstalled and Apple devices with MacOS preinstalled.
Statcounter bases their data on web traffic. If you’re browsing the web on your Steam Deck, I think that should count.
tbh. the only thing holding me back from using linux on my daily driver, is anti cheat support. If faceit had a linux client, i would jump immediately
I think that’s a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)
I’ve been playing around with Mint on a VM
