I mean it probably will be. Im somewhat confident that linux will get close to 10% on steam this year. gamingonlinux.com/…/steam-survey-for-april-2026-s…

IIRC Linux in is at 11% of Steam users. And with the Steam Machine it will only grow as it did with the Deck.
What is the year of Linux? For me, it’s already here. Now it’s time to just grow out of gaming, and capture another segment like the creatives. If they could use professional grade software that is fully compliant with industry standards, then Linux could see another major increase in users.
