As of March, Linux-based operating systems were running Steam on 5.33% of all polled systems. This represents an impressive 3.10% increase over February's data, which showed a dip in Linux market share from January's 3.5%.

seems very weird that it jumped that much in two months, i would not trust it blindly for now

With a 24.48% share, the use of SteamOS grew by 0.65% last month alone

that's nice though, it's not only valve thingy growing

Wine/proton just got some improvements related to multithreading and process scheduling that has shown some significant performance gains in some cases vs windoze. Being computer savvy and using windoze is starting to be highly sus behavior. Linux can do pretty much everything most folks need, and it isn't actively hostile to its users.
