Just had the Steam Survey pop up and so as always decided to participate and quickly look at some of the stats. I was honestly a bit surprised to see Windows 11 drop by 10.43% in February. Year of Linux Desktop now lol?

    febuary is the odd month in steam hardware year because theres usually a heavy spike of chinese pc gamers playing in cafes due to free time from CNY, so whatever is in those cafe pcs are over represented in the statistics for febuary

      Ah see these are the kind of interesting data points I love lol. I always find it insane to think that the CNY period can impact so many areas on opposite ends of the scale. Like tourism and gaming for example
