Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system has passed Windows 10 usage for Steam users for the first time since its launch in 2021. Windows 10 has been holding strong in recent years, despite Microsoft’s plans to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. There are now signs that Windows 11 adoption is finally heading in the right direction for Microsoft.

Steam hardware survey data for August puts Windows 11 usage at 49 percent, an increase of more than 3 percent over the previous figure in July of nearly 46 percent. Windows 10 usage has dipped by around 3 percent to 47 percent, while macOS and Linux Steam usage has largely remained the same during August.

Staying on 10 until I can't, then moving to Linux

I tried the same. Just once i didn't pay attention and installed windows 11. Then i tried to switch to linux, but somehow linux doesn't like whatever bullshit save system or whatever i have. I completely forgot, because the workaround seemed like a pain in the ass from the videos i watched. At least i learned to avoid intel and try my luck with my next pc.
