As a Linux gamer with a Ryzen cpu, I think it’s likely just a correlation of people who are more tech-oriented, as windows and intel are essentially the “default” options for most computers you can buy, and the same (mostly) enthusiast circles that use Linux overlap heavily with those who build their own computers and may be more informed about hardware options, and how Ryzen has been beating Intel on price/performance essentially since launch
One factor could be that there are a lot of developers using linux. Developers love threads for compiling, and when ryzen came along we got a lot of threads for a reasonable price compared to the 4 cores/8 threads we’ve been stuck with for a decade from intel.
Another factor might be the GPUs, as I can picture the people buying AMD GPUs for their superior compatibility on linux, are more likely to also get an AMD CPU.
That seems weird…67% AMD and 33% Intel? Meaning zero percent of polled Linux users play on nvidia?
It’s a shorter article, so I might have missed it, but I’m assuming Steam Deck is included in those measurements. If so I’d imagine that bumps the numbers.
