Article has some observation about the new statistics provided by Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam.
The Steam on Linux marketshare ended 2024 with a 2.29% against Windows at 96.1% and macOS at 1.61%. The Steam Survey numbers for January were posted this evening and they show a sizable dip for the Linux gaming use but there are also other odd discrepancies with the updated monthly figures.
…
Where things get odd though is that the January results show the English language use dropping by 8.17% down to 33.97%… Most other languages dropping too and no explanation where the 8%+ usage went from the English use.
for me the biggest dealbreaker is that only flatpaks are available
You can layer packages using
rpm-ostree install $pkgname. It uses fedora repos. You can also (preferably) use a distrobox or toolbox container with a non-atomic distro and then install the desired package. Generally better to avoid layering packages but it works fine in my experience.
