"Linux players on Steam hit an all-time high for November 2025"

hell yeah!

3% may sound small but the trend is there. One of the reasons I'm willing to deal with #valve #steam DRM…

Linux players on Steam hit an all-time high for November 2025
Valve released the statistics from the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for November 2025, which shows once again that Linux use is trending nicely upwards. Slow and steady wins the race? Thanks in part due to all of Valve's work with SteamOS and Proton, and thanks to Microsoft forcing AI rubbish in Windows - more people are checking Linux out than ever before. For November 2025 the overall operating system share is: * Windows - 94.79% * Linux - 3.20% * macOS - 2.02% Our dedicated Steam Tracker is up to date for the Linux overall trend, as well as our newer distribution chart as well. Here's a snapshot from it: For the breakdown of popular Linux distributions on Steam here's November's details: * SteamOS Holo 64 bit 26.42% -0.76% * Arch Linux 64 bit 9.97% -0.35% * Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit 7.36% +0.71% * CachyOS 64 bit 6.74% +0.73% * Freedesktop SDK 25.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit 5.96% +1.67% * Bazzite 64 bit 5.53% +1.29% * Ubuntu Core 22 64 bit 4.29% -0.26% * Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS 64 bit 3.86% +0.16% * EndeavourOS Linux 64 bit 2.10% -0.22% * Linux Mint 22.1 64 bit 1.96% -0.60% * Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS 64 bit 1.90% -0.03% * Manjaro Linux 64 bit 1.90% -0.14% * Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) 64 bit 1.58% +1.58% * Other 20.43% +2.39% It's not entirely clear what Valve uses to sort the Linux list, as distributions seem to randomly flick in and out of it each month. Would be nice if we could just get a full list each month. The order has been all messed up for a few months too across various parts of the survey, hopefully Valve will eventually fix that. Be sure to click along to our Steam Tracker for a lot more info and interactive charts. We've been tracking this for years now so you don't have to.

With all the telemetry in #windows, you’d think Redmond would have at least an inkling that its users, even those on Copilot+ PCs, aren’t exactly thrilled about the whole idea of an AI-driven "agentic OS" 🙃

I'm continuously impressed with how just how good the Rust ecosystem is. Whenever I look for a crate or a CLI utility that does what I want, 95% of the time I find it.

And the rest of the time, the components are right there for me to build it.

El año pasado compré cosas en PC Componentes para un upgrade a mi máquina y pillé RAM. No tenía por qué hacerlo. No era a lo que venía. Simplemente antes de pagar me dio por poner "ram" y metí 32 GB en el carrito.

Y se burlaron de mí.

Pero quién ríe ahora.
