    Worth keeping in mind that the steam deck uses a distro based on arch, so it might be inflating the arch numbers in that steam survey.

      I don’t think it is. Mint is based on Ubuntu but still shows up as mint. Arch is very popular

          Nah in that category it was separating steamOS. Here is the stats for operating system for Linux.

              Yeah you can filter stats by OS then click on the linux os section to get more details then you’ll see what I screenshot. I had to dig to find it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
