New Steam on Linux Market Share Stats 'Likely the Largest Surveyed Figure Ever'

'The July 2025 results of the Steam Survey were posted a few minutes ago,' Phoronix reported last night, 'and show a healthy 0.32% increase to put the Linux gaming marketshare at 2.89%.'
That's a recent high in percentage terms and while Steam saw around 3% in the early days of Steam on Linux a decade ago, in absolute terms this is likely the largest surveyed figure ever for the Linux gaming population.
Linux was at 2.89% for July while macOS was at 1.88% and Windows at 95.23%.

There does seem to be a jagged line that's trending upward...

November: 2.03%
December: 2.29%
January: 2.06%
February: 1.45%
March: 2.33%
April: 2.27%
May: 2.69%
June: 2.57%
July: 2.89%
