Switched from Windows to Linux about 1.5 years ago, fun to see 0% windows this year.

No chart for me, just Linux

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I didn’t have a platform chart either. I guess they only show it if you play on multiple platforms.

Linux only for me as well.

Microsoft is doing a banging job, two years ago I had only a little bit of Steam Deck in there against Windows. And just mid October I put Linux on the gaming computer…

The steam deck's suspend functionality really gives some crazy session count numbers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I was wondering, lol. My numbers are very inflated, too.

What's funny about mine is that almost all of my "Windows" playtime is actually from streaming to my Deck, too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah I have like 900 sessions and a 19 day streak playing CP2077 haha

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Oh that explains mine then

Wasn't sure how I clocked an average of nearly 4 sessions a day

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And play time too, I played a game for about 10 hours on the week I bought it but steam reported 600hrs.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) it corrected itself after playing on PC for a few mins, still if it hadn't, silly crab dark souls would have been my 3rd most played steam game ever

I saw that when playing a game, it counted the time since it was opened while playing. But always saw it correct itself to actual time running withing a few seconds/minutes of closing the game on the deck.

Can't believe a quarter of my playtime was The Witcher 3. I don't know if I would've even finished it if I played on PC, it's so damn long. I don't play much AAA though I guess, but JRPGs are long too.

Also, it just occured to me that I spent plenty of time emulating too though...

no surprise it shows i'm obsessed with jrpgs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The other 6% was a few multiplayer sessions of Warhammer Vermintide with friends which I guess I could have played on the deck but I needed the KBM and bigger screen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm always sad my steamdeck stat is so low. I only use it to play ps2 games and watch movies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Not everyone needs a steam deck. I know a couple people who have them and barely use them.

But for people like me, it's been a massive improvement to how often I'm able to play.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

If I had to sum mine up it's been Isaac on the Steam Deck and Tabletop Simulator on Linux. And a bunch of other stuff on both.
