Original: Steam On Linux Dives Down To 3.05% For September

Steam's hardware survey shows Linux usage among gamers dropped to 3.05% in September, a notable decline from earlier in the year when the Steam Deck had pushed the share upward. The figures, reported by Phoronix, suggest momentum for Linux gaming may be slowing, prompting discussion among Linux enthusiasts and gaming observers about what is behind the drop.

Why now: Linux gaming had been growing thanks to the Steam Deck, so a decline in the latest survey data sparks debate about reversing momentum.
