A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.

Only dimly related, but since I'm in this 2%, I can't help reflecting that in the 11 months since joining Lemmy, I have:

  • Canceled all of my streaming subscriptions

  • Built a massive Plex Server

  • Rekindled my love of Unix building said server

  • Began pirating movies, TV, music, and software like a fucking syphilitic pegleg

  • Began experiencing Star Trek TNG for the first time, pirated, on my Plex Server, running Linux

  • Bought a steam deck and began experimenting with Arch

Don't ever let anyone tell you your feed doesn't influence you, no matter how media literate you are.

You forgot mentioning the chokers and thigh highs you have bought since then.

I omitted to mention that the number of thigh highs in my wardrobe have remained largely unchanged, so far anyway, and that I managed to avoid letting jeans-mania spill over into whatever passes for my real life.
