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.

Hmm is this really happening so fast? It's a little hard to believe.
I suspect it's a bump due to Windows Recall. I know I fully switched because of it after 25 years of off and on the Linux Desktop. And I will not be going back.
I don't believe it that much. It may just be the Steam Deck's financial success. But everything is possible.
Considering this is browser stats I doubt the steam deck has much to do with it, the steam deck is all about never opening anything other than steam.
Are you sure Steam is not one of the data suppliers for it though?
