    I think the “Ubuntu Core 22” means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.

    If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses core22 as its base.

    I mean, I can kinda see it being useful for people wanting to sell a wee box that does nothing but launch a game on steam.

    Why is arch at the top tho? Apparently Steam OS is it’s own point, are those the Steam OS clones also based on Arch? Or maybe, people just accepted the superiority of Arch (/s)

      The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they’d be much higher than Arch.

          by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.

          From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.

          2-3% might be OpenSuse

      I’ve seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.

        I changed friends to mainly the ones here on lemmy, specifically the german communities, and I was surprised that there’s an actual kinda cult here, just by the germans/ich_iel’ers, with it’s own community, and also a lot of members in Matrix. So I didn’t really see people switch to arch, but rather I changed friends to the much more nerdy type where arch is more common.

    I just noticed how that Arch is in quotes and “64 bit” was added. Does anyone use 32 Bit Arch for gaming? Is it even possible to run Steam on that?

    And why not go with:

    Arch Linux (rolling-release) 64 bit

      Is there 32bit arch release at all? I know there’s arch based 32bit distros, but as far as i know, arch itself is x86-64 and arm only

        Arch linux dropped 32bit support a few years ago. But you could probably still make a 32bit build yourself.

    Would streaming to a device add that device to the tally? Most of the time when I’m playing a game on Steam I’m doing on an ‘Intel Atom’ level laptop from 2013-ish with a decent wifi card and the desktop does the heavy lifting

    I wonder if someone is using it to run a remote play server? I’ve thought about doing that a couple times.
