      Probably not? Why would Steam Deck users access StatCounter? I have used the browser like 1-2 times total on my Steam Deck, but since it’s annoying, I just don’t bother anymore.

      So I’m guessing Steam Deck doesn’t contribute much at all to this since it’s based on browser user agents.

        If that *is* the case, then the Deck probably still contributes indirectly, at least in my case I switched a few months before the Deck started shipping, but after it was announced

        And while I was slightly familiar with linux and interested in switching before, the Deck made it so that I felt safer and more confident doing so

          Sure, it’s certainly helping Linux adoption, but for every person that switches to Linux after buying a deck, there’s a ton that don’t.

          I have two coworkers with a Steam Deck and neither have any interest in using Linux.

      Linux is like 3% of Steam users, where maybe half are from Steam Deck users. So if it does contribute, it’s probably not a big factor in these totals. I’m guessing devs/enthusiasts are the main contributors
