Not to be a downer but Valve doesn’t give and insight into their methodology of collecting data and it’s been wrong a few times before. With Linux, VR, and languages. Why should the statistics be trusted now?
It’s randomly picked users which has been shown that it’s not so random and that at one point Linux users weren’t being asked as often as Windows users. So without methodology and insight, it’s hard to have trust in the survey system.

isn’t the hardware survey just a voluntary survey available to any steam user? like we know how they collect the data
I believe they pick users at random. You can’t even update your submitted data from X times ago after an upgrade.

Of course they weren’t asked as often, there’s significantly less number of users on Linux. 96.21% of the users asked was on Windows.
