    Can’t play a lot of my games because they are 32-bit, that’s why I stopped using Steam on my Mac. Haven’t spent the time to work around.

      Can’t forget Apple pissing off all their devs to the point that there’s so few popular games supporting Mac now. And older games don’t work because they killed the backwards support.

      It is also 1.96% versus 1.84% so it is largely “meaningless” and could just be the noise of when people get the hardware survey pop up.

      But this is still actually really good. I finally switched my primary gaming over to Linux a few weeks back. And a big part of that is the Steam Deck. Because, while I was going down the list of my top games on ProtonDB, I had to keep reminding myself “Of course that works on Linux. I literally was playing it on my Deck on my deck the other day”.

      And this is good. Because I still don’t think there is a good reason for developers/publishers to even care about linux desktops. But if they care about the Steam Deck then we get that for free.
