Linux gaming on Steam has reached a milestone, crossing 3% market share in October 2025, up 0.41% from the previous month. This represents over 4 million monthly active users based on 2022 figures, with actual numbers likely higher due to Steam's growth. The increase is largely driven by Steam Deck adoption, which accounts for 27.18% of Linux gaming distributions. Windows declined to 94.84% while macOS grew to 2.11%. Popular distributions include Arch Linux, Linux Mint, CachyOS, and Bazzite. The trend suggests continued growth, especially with Windows 10 support ending and potential new SteamOS-powered hardware like the rumored Steam Frame VR kit.
