Valve released the statistics from the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for November 2025, which shows once again that Linux use is trending nicely upwards.

It'll be you the next time you click allow for a steam hardware survey. Mine will be part of december's for the first time since I switched, so I'm helping next month's number increase.

Though kinda funny how for a steam survey, I'm all for it, but any other attempt to get usage data gets a fuck no from me. I hope all future valve owners understand the value of that trust and don't try to cash in on it like some MBA that who thinks thinking of the future means extrapolating the current quarter's increase in earnings indefinitely into the future.

A lifetime of not completely shitting the bed helps. I am also deeply deeply distrustful of most info gathering too. It's half the reason I switched. I don't usually like the newest windows on launch because they ratchet up the surveillance every time. The other half is my hardware isn't good enough for windows 11 and I'm not upgrading.
