Steam Hardware Survey April 2026 Linux at 4.52%
Linux is down slightly after a peak month, but probably that month had Linux over-represented. This month we see English down a bit too, Chinese is up a little.

I copied the data from gamingonlinux and put it into my own sheet with an exponential trendline (red) and a moving average line (green) to smooth out the variance of the survey. We're definitely trending upwards.
Here's the csv data
> 0.78, 0.72, 0.80, 0.82, 0.82, 0.77, 0.82, 0.81, 0.84, 0.76, 0.79, 0.80, 0.83, 0.83, 0.81, 0.83, 0.90, 0.83, 0.87, 0.89, 0.91, 0.88, 0.86, 0.89, 0.94, 0.90, 0.90, 0.78, 0.91, 0.81, 0.85, 0.85, 0.86, 0.89, 1.00, 1.02, 1.05, 1.13, 1.16, 1.11, 1.06, 1.02, 1.00, 1.14, 1.12, 1.18, 1.23, 1.27, 1.23, 1.28, 1.44, 1.38, 1.38, 1.27, 0.84, 1.32, 1.47, 1.44, 1.96, 1.82, 1.63, 1.39, 1.91, 1.97, 1.95, 1.76, 1.94, 1.90, 2.32, 2.08, 2.08, 1.92, 1.87, 2.00, 2.03, 2.29, 2.06, 1.45, 2.33, 2.27, 2.69, 2.57, 2.89, 2.64, 2.68, 3.05, 3.20, 3.58, 3.38, 2.23, 5.33, 4.52
