Why is arch at the top tho? Apparently Steam OS is its own point, are those the Steam OS clones also based on Arch? Or maybe, people just accepted the superiority of Arch (/s)

The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they'd be much higher than Arch.

steam is based on arch so you would have to add those two and then compare and that is 48.7 so all the rest would have to be debian.

by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.

From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.

2-3% might be OpenSuse

I mean I was sorta using your logic. arch is more like debain than ubuntu.

I've seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.

I changed friends to mainly the ones here on lemmy, specifically the german communities, and I was surprised that there's an actual kinda cult here, just by the germans/ich_iel'ers, with it's own community, and also a lot of members in Matrix. So I didn't really see people switch to arch, but rather I changed friends to the much more nerdy type where arch is more common.

changed friends?

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 13 points 4 days ago

Well ... I moved away from the okay ones and was finally able to drop the right-conservative (with straight up proud nazi friends) "friends", which I basically had to have because otherwise I would have been literally alone in school. And so I searched for new friends, either online on Lemmy/Matrix or offline, in uni.

holy crap. I can't imagine actually knowing someone being public about nazi stuff. There were folks with like confederate flags but it was a little after the dukes of hazard and I don't think they had the meaning to it that has resurfaced in this millenium.
