I was just looking at this graph and thinking of posting it here… thanks for saving me the trouble! I only had a couple of thoughts (and accepting the data comes only from ProtonDB and I’m a gamer so this makes the data especially interesting): it’s nice to see Arch and Arch-based distros doing so well; if you add them together they’re quite a large block, and I’m also not sad about Ubuntu’s falling share (it’s become very corporate - at least that’s my feeling, I don’t follow such stuff very closely). Oh, and I just tried out Nobara and was very impressed with it as a gaming distro (I got better FPS playing Warframe than I did on Windows 11) and it’s good to see that getting a small but growing share.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
