Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

MODERATORS
Am I missing something or is 36.47% not greater than 9.7%? Why is SteamOS not shown as the most popular Linux distro without the Linux only filters?
This contradicts the article claiming Arch dominates the Linux gaming scene and not SteamOS.
SteamOS seems to not be counted at all in the first page. Apparently, it's not just "All OSs combined" vs "Linux only" but there are additional filters applied. Perhaps the first page is desktop-only. The article either also cares about desktop gaming specifically or is uncritically parroting the survey page. I think both Valve and the article writer should be clearer about what they're talking about.
