Note, the source will change every month. That's why I made a screenshot, so the discussion in this thread makes sense in the future. Source: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux

Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit got +3.34% from previously 0%, while Linux Mint 22.1 64 bit lost -2.71%. So the rest of the 0.65% are either new users or upgraders from even older Linux Mint versions. Whatever the reason is, these two entries should have been a single one as Linux Mint 22 with 8.84%.

Also what is the category "Other"? It's almost 20% big, so this is not something to wave over. Bazzite got a good start, hopefully it will grow further. I'm surprised that CachyOS is this popular, much more than Ubuntu and Bazzite.

I use dual boot cause Geforce Now doesnt support 2k in linux :( As soon as that changes windows will be gone

That's weird, because it's "just" streaming after all (with input off course). How can Nvidia mess this up? I couldn't believe this and searched the web, found following: https://github.com/AstralVixen/GeForce-Infinity

This started as an alternative, for the lack of support on Linux. And it supports 1440p & 120 FPS. They explicitly warn not to use native GeForce Now app. I can't say how trustful this project is. Now I have no experience with this, so leave it there.
