Also I was curious why the list of Linux distros is unsorted, when switching to Linux only:

When you look at "Nobara Linux 44", it got +1.66% change to a current value of 1.66%. We can conclude this is a new entry that they didn't track before? Plus other distributions are often used to install when leaving Windows, as it is hot topic right now, if you look at YouTube. People build all the different alternatives to the Steam Machine. So rather than less people playing on the Deck, I think there is a bigger growth on other distributions than SteamOS grows right now. Just my speculation.

Makes sense. Building a home 'steam machine' alternative for my home TV has been on my own todo list for awhile. (Unless I can get my hands om the real deal before I get around to it, I suppose.)
