From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is this with or without the steam deck?
Not that I don't like the steam deck, I think it is really great for linux adaption. I am just curious.
This is in the StatCounter FAQ:
So it sounds like they're using the useragent to distinguish between mobile and desktop. So most likely, yes, steam decks would be counted as desktops, but only to the degree that they are used to browse the internet. I suspect most steam deck users don't do that, but I don't know, I don't have a steam deck.
That makes sense, thank you!
Wonder what dent the 40M rasberry pi's make, not to mention virtual desktops and the like! The number may be higher than 3%!
probably not much, since i imagine most raspberry pis are being used for an embedded project and not as a desktop/web browsing computer.
Definitely.
