Does anyone know if the Steam Hardware Survey identifies your OS even in the Flatpak version? Or will it detect the Freedesktop SDK?
50% still on Windows 10 is crazy. What is Microsoft going to tell them next year when the support runs out?
Why the fuck is windows 7 increasing
The hardware survey doesn’t ask every single user, it just gets a sample. So it probably just happened to hit a few more Windows 7 people this month.
I guess I’m really just questioning why there are any at all… hope they enjoy being part of a botnet…
From my experience there’s this weird subset of people who don’t like newer Windows versions, which is fair enough, but instead of learning to modify those or learning Linux, they believe they can turn back time, which isn’t something you can just do when connecting it to the ever forward-marching internet.
I don’t know how Windows games are counted when they are executed in a Linux environment but I do know that Windows games executed on macOS through GPTK are counted as Windows environment, which is dumb.
Anyway, good to see Linux holding strong. I’ve been waiting for this since Hardy Heron
The steam survey doesn’t count individual games; the Steam client itself collects and sends the data after prompting the user for permission. So all the matters is the OS visible to the Steam Client.
Which is, in that case, Windows 10 in a Wine bottle.
Steam.app can’t run Windows games directly on macOS, like it does on Linux with Proton. So you have to install the Windows version of Steam in a Wine bottle to be able to install and run Windows games from Steam on macOS
