@firecat @eddiecsilva I'm literally accessing the website.

The thing is, Valve is not obliged to provide anything. They're not a government organization whose sole purpose is to collect and present statistical data as part of its civic remit...they're a game developer and software distribution platform that offers this data to interested users.

@firecat @eddiecsilva What is really interesting is that 42% of Steam users on Linux are using SteamOS Holo. Arch and Ubuntu are the 2nd & 3rd largest with 7%.

@gavin57 @eddiecsilva Just believing that alone is no different than Elon Musk fake followers. They control the website, they control the data, they control who sents it. I often see pot of people not getting the survey. The data is just isn't trustable enough.

@firecat @eddiecsilva …but the data is inconsequential. Right now we’re talking about what machines & software is used to play games on. It really doesn’t matter.

If Valve was in charge of civic planning, fine, but they’re not.

Musk is also irrelevant. A two-bit car dealer who runs a toxic website that is dropping in value by the day.

@gavin57 @eddiecsilva it makes people believe Valve is successful in Linux. Also, over at knob I just realized that Valve never mentioned what “Linux” means in their chart. It can be anything from VM, bot accounts, false proxy, etc. The data should not be considered 100% PC Linux.

@firecat @eddiecsilva You have to drill down, but the data is all there.

@gavin57 @eddiecsilva “other”, yep see what I mean. Not always 100% PC Linux and Valve won’t share any information on it.
