Are steamdecks getting counted in this?
I had a discussion about this 1 months ago: https://beehaw.org/post/14768525 And decided not to bring it up again. :D
My argument is, from the eyes of the website you visit, the Steam Deck user would be identified as a desktop user. Thatâs because the browser you are using (most likely Firefox) and the desktop environment (most likely KDE) in the Desktop mode would be seen as a desktop. In short, yes, I think Steam Deck would be counted, but only if people visit the pages in Desktop mode. So not all Steam Deck users are counted here.
Game mode doesnât have a browser. I would be interested to find out of the steamdeck sales almost directly correlate to this increase. Not that I am complaining, itâs a great way to use a linux desktop experience. I didnât really read how these numbers were measured.
The other explanation I could think of is that linux desktop is being adopted widely in India. I donât think that governmentâs adopting linux desktop accounts for a significant portion of the machines.
