Valve released the Steam Hardware & Software Survey results for April 2025, so here's your usual round-up of where things stand right now.

    Ya know, I have three Linux machines that play games and a steam deck. I have not seen a survey in a very long time. I wonder why?

      Conversely, I game only on a Linux machine and have received 3-5 surveys in the last year.

      It may have a variety of factors, but it is not as simple as “they aren’t giving surveys to Linux users to deflate numbers” or something that some Linux users tend to theorize when they don’t get surveys for a while.

    I’m probably part of the problem because I got the survey on my Mac and not my Linux machine…

      You can always deny the survey…I would hope that means they don’t use the data anyway. But I understand the motivation if they do (not a truly random sample if people are more likely to deny on one platform vs another).
