If that were the case, the market share at least should have doubled after people saw it was viable for desktop gaming. That didn’t happen. It only gained a predicted increase from the estimated sales of Steam Deck’s, which indeed inflates the desktop PC numbers.

So we don’t count Microsoft Surfaces running windows or windows (on arm)?

Sure, exclude them. Precise numbers are irrelevant here, as they don’t change the basic facts. The simple fact is that Linux is stuck at 1.5%, and you are not able to dispute it, so instead you try to shift the argument to something else.

39.20% of Linux users on Steam are on Steam Deck. Tell me again, it’s not inflated… And based on data, that doesn’t translate into wider Linux adoption for gaming.
