I'm very happy to higher the percentage as opposed to the mere 45% from last year. I can't even recall which games I've played were on Windows, maybe a bit of Hunt: Showdown in the early 2024. Oh and the VR % was on Linux too :3
EDIT: Last year's result was 65% not 45. And this year's Windows playtime is at only 4% ^^
Steam didn't even show me that stat. 100% club 😎
It's so sad it doesn't show that graph if you only used one OS so I can't show off my 100% linux usage
It really is. I'm not a big gamer, but I'd love boast 100% on Linux (though cheating a bit, since it's all steam deck)
That's not cheating the steam deck is a linux device complete with a desktop
I managed 96% Linux, 4% Steam Deck.
I really should use my deck more.
I'm kind of the opposite, I had almost 2x as much on Steam Deck vs Linux:
I stopped using my work computer for games a few months ago, so it's probably closer to 65% Steam Deck since I now take my breaks on my Deck.
Also got the Hardware Survey the other day and confused them with OpenSUSE instead of SteamOS on the Steam Deck.
How is it? My Steam Deck is my only non-openSUSE device (TW on desktop and laptop, Leap on NAS and VPS), but I've been too lazy to reinstall.
I had to do some manual work. I mainly did it to get full disk encryption working. Getting that with an on screen keyboard running was a pain in the ass. I probably made a post about it, I'm too lazy to look for it now.
I also was too lazy to hook up a keyboard. But I could run the installer from the Gnome live boot because that seems to be the only one with a working on screen keyboard.
For day-to-day operation I use KDE with Steam running in the background for the keyboard, similar to the desktop mode on SteamOS. I did copy the setup for gaming mode over but I never use it.
Basically used windows for some multiplayer game sessions with friends and that's about it. Steam Deck for everything else.
Am I doing it right?
I still have 11℅ on Windows because of anti-cheat :(
67% GNU/Linux / 32% Steam deck 173 games launch on GNU/Linux / 74 games launch on Steam Deck
Seems good proportion :)
Of all the games I’ve played in the last year I’ve only got one that doesn’t run perfectly on Fedora (Deathloop). It wasn’t even hard to get them working; Steam, Heroic, and Proton.
Happily rocking the 100% Linux club.
Annoying windows still shows up on my review because I use GeForce now from a Fedora laptop
Damnit, every year I get some playtime on windows for bullshit reasons. This year I had to check something at work and last year I played some couch games on my wife's desktop hooked to the tv since they were heavier than what the deck could handle and her PC was close to the TV.
I am doing my part
Im all in on steam deck and linux it seems:
Looks like me too... but I'm more concerned about how I put in way more total hours than I thought I did.
Steam has a Wrapped?
wots ur icon cuz kyuute
It's a modified VRChat avatar called Rindo
Cute!
thanks 🥺
macOS is my work computer, and I used to play some games during lunch when WFH. I have since uninstalled Steam since my company added some monitoring SW.
I need voodoo magic to play my games through linux.
