Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven't looked back.

Strange that it was previously at 0.00%, isn't it?

I believe it was lumped into "Other" and not tracked previously.

Of it's not tracked then how do they know which ones are in the top?

It is tracked, but valve probably has a threshold around 1-2% for when they start listing the os as a separe entry outside the 'other'.

It was tracked. Bazzite went up by 2.37% (from nothing). Other went down by 2.40%. They just finally recognized Bazzite as an "actual" Linux distro instead of the "IDK" category.
