All fields expanded, very long screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/steam-hardware-software-survey-linux-september-2025-azOM8GS

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.

You don't need Lutris, the itch.io launcher takes care of everything.

As for DayZ, I don't want to risk playing any competitive games on Linux and getting myself a spurious VAC ban

You only get game bans in DayZ. For what it's worth, I have been playing DayZ on Linux on and off for years and never got banned.

Well DayZ doesn't seem to work on my computer anymore anyway. Something to do with having uninstalled it and now reinstalling it. So looks like I may have no choice but to play it on Linux.
