Linux share on Steam bounces back to nearly 2% for March 2024
Thanks to all of Valve's effort with Proton, Steam Deck and their funding of people working on various other bits of Linux code like GPU drivers - the Linux share on Steam as of March 2024 bounced back to a near multi-year high.

Anyone tried FreeBSD? Linux is starting to lose that hipster allure.
the real l33t h4x0rz use TempleOS
It's what my router runs.
I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn't figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.
I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -
-
I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn't afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.
-
I couldn't play games using steam proton. I don't know the situation these days, but I'll surely check it out If it has improved since then.
You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.

TIL that FreeBSD is an OS and not just another Distro.
