    I can’t remember who does a more comprehensive survey, but the overall Linux gaming share is ≈4%. So, Steam users are about half of that, if I’m understanding correctly.

        No, I mean 4% of the overall Linux desktop share does some amount of gaming. This is based on a survey, and I can’t for the life of me remember who does it. It will show up again, with updated totals, on one of these communities eventually.

    Must be because Factorio released 2.0 and the Space Age DLC recently.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
