    You may be right in that people are seeing how viable Linux is for gaming due to the success of the Steam Deck.

    I’m not sure if steam deck is counted under Arch, but it’s definitely not Ubuntu, Mint, or Manjaro. It looks like the increase in Linux desktop is traditional desktop gaming.

      SteamOS is 42.99% of the Linux share on there, with the lion’s share increase of 0.68%. This ‘surge’ is pretty much just from the Steam Deck.

      It must be, because there’s no way vanilla Arch is the most-used Linux distro, even among gamers.
