minus-squareTywèle@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 days agoNo need to do the math, GamingOnLinux does it for you: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/ But it seems like your math is right.
minus-squareVicinus@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·18 days agoAppreciate the confirmation. I actually checked GamingOnLinux before doing the math, but they hadn’t updated their graphs yet for March. Since I did the math correct the first time, I’m going to double down and math again! Non-Steam Deck Linux % for English Language: 8.63% Math: (Linux English / Overall English) * ((Linux Overall - SteamOS Linux % of Overall) / (Overall - SteamOS Linux % of Overall) = (82.75% / 39.09%) * ((5.33% - 1.30%) / (100% - 1.30%)) = 8.63% SteamOS Linux % of Overall = Linux Overall * SteamOS Linux = 5.33% * 24.48% = 1.30% Assumptions: % of English Language usage is uniform across all Distros; Probably another assumption, but it’s not coming to me right now.
