How many Linux people actually get the survey? I know I didn't.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I got it a few times over the last years, once on the steam deck.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I got it twice

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I forgot it once many months ago and never before or after

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I didn't either, not even once in years of playing on Steam.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Got it once in the one year I've been on Linux

China needs to start their own Linux distro.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They have done that already. It's called Kylin.

Oh nice I wanna read about that.

Unfortunately, Linux isn't very popular among gamers in China. Im not sure if this true, but i was reading comments on random Chinese forum(or BiliBili? dont remember exactly) some were saying that rarely anyone wants to use Linux on their hardware or when they buy PCs/laptops that come pre-installed with Linux that people usually just go to PC shop to install Windows on their hardware

Deepin is pretty popular

-0.05% might be insignificant, but do you think it has to do with more games requiring kernel-level anti-cheat?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

This type of drop usually happens when the Chinese language rises because "nobody" in China is using Linux

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Course it's down, they didn't ask me for the survey this time!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

No Fedora?

I thought it was popular.

I tried Manjaro a few times and it made my PC unusable every time. All sorts of little issues and even though I disabled any sleep features my screens would not wake up after I had been away for about an hour. Nothing else responded either like my PC had frozen.

Nobara is my distro of choice these days.

Fake Arch numbers.
