    Phone is Android, PC is now Linux Mint, for gaming I use a Steam deck, and my NAS is now TrueNAS.

    Nearly a third are coming from the Steam Deck and other Steam OS handhelds. Impressive.

    I use Debian. Does this mean I’m in the top 0.05% of Steam users?

    I love to see it.

    Each time I see posts like this, I hope to see adobe announce they are making linux versions of their software. Whether you like it or not, a lot of people do not switch because of adobe.

      Can’t you run it through Proton or Wine tricks at this point?

        It works for the most basic scripts but unfortunately its features pale in comparison

      Same here, for some reason my covid hobby was learning a new keyboard layout and while I now prefer using Dvorak, my attempts at remapping key bindings like cut/copy/paste on linux has has been unreliable at best, and then switching between Dvorak and QWERTY for games that don’t support layout-agnostic controls usually doesn’t even register (at least on the steam deck it doesn’t seem to)

        have you tried keyd? I only use it for a few very simple remaps, but it’s got tons of nooks and crannies to lose yourself in.

    I bet that most of the steam flatpaks are on the Debian distros, specifically Mint. So if it wasn’t for steamos, Mint would probably be the first on the list.

    Ubuntu has snap.

      Debian is understandable since its packages are frozen for 2 Years
