Steam Hardware Survey Reveals Linux Usage Reaching 5% Among Gamers

The latest Steam hardware survey has unveiled a notable development: a significant increase in Linux installations among the platform’s gaming community, with its presence now reportedly reaching 5%. This growth marks an interesting evolution in the gaming landscape, as more players appear to be embracing the open-source operating system. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated, yet elusive, RTX 5070 GPU continues to be absent from the survey’s statistics, indicating it has yet to make its debut or significant market penetration.
