In 2023, I had 97% Linux with the only Windows games being Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of modding.
Now that I got modding to work on Linux I resolved to have 100% playtime on Linux for 2024. But Steam Replay says nothing because its still only one device :(.
I switched to Linux after the Recall junk, and one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!!)
It’s weird that the graph does not show my steam deck at all. I got it around launch, then got my wife one too. Now she runs Linux on her computer too.
I don't even have Steam on my Windows install as all my games work fine on Linux. Honestly I should probably just uninstall Windows at this point, I don't think I've used it in months.
As a fairly new Linux user, I haven't managed to run a single program through bottles. Just never works for me. Luckily I could get by so far with proton and auto generated lutris entries, but especially the latter I wasn't able to configure manually either.
Mine certainly didn't show any kind of OS breakdown. I would have thought if you didn't use more than 1 OS, it probably just skips showing you the stats.
There is expected to be an announcement at CES that Valve is partnering to bring other vendors into making SteamOS handhelds, so you likely will get your chance at something soon.
I hate to say but you're missing out. I wasn't sure if it was for me in the beginning but according to steam I've done a third of my gaming this year on it
Being able to mod Skyrim on Linux was the final nail in Window's coffin for me too! Haven't found a game that doesn't work...even anti-cheat games like Elden Ring work flawlessly with Proton.
Edit: Nexus mods are also working on a cross-platform app for modding, though its still in alpha. Currently only a few games are supported with support for more coming soon.
Does the Steam Deck count as Linux Gaming? I assume it does, but honestly in the year 2024 and on niche forums I never know.
If it does count, then I bet my gaming percent is nearly as high. I prefer the larger screen on my laptop and some games that I play don't run (or don't run as well) on the Deck, but otherwise everything else about the Steam Deck makes it the superior experience.
My 762h in Garry's Mod begs to differ. I'll need to build a garage though in case my son is an idiot and doesn't understand the absolute digital empire I have built online.
