Thanks to all of Valve's effort with Proton, Steam Deck and their funding of people working on various other bits of Linux code like GPU drivers - the Linux share on Steam as of March 2024 bounced back to a near multi-year high.

    Surely there is no way to install steam on linux and download stuff off that installation without revealing that you are doing it on a linux machine. I mean you are either requesting a linux build of the game from their server or you are downloading some wine/proton components or configurations. Right?

      The info from the Steam Hardware Survey is collected on an opt-in basis. I’m sure Valve has plenty of ways to get this information otherwise, but this specific data set requires acceptance of the terms of the survey.
