I want to see Linux and macOS chip away at Windows as much as the next guy but calling a rise to 2% a “surge” seems laughable

It's honestly more laughable when the entire "surge" increase comes from steam decks. Everyone knows Linux thrives in a locked-down environment that is created specifically for the hardware it's shipped with. It's why Android works so well. Linux PC Desktop is where things still need to be proven to work with any configuration, with all the applications, and user needs.

Which is why it's so awesome that most of Steam Deck is actually fairly open, or at least as open as running steam on desktop Linux anyway.
