On a percentage basis it's not as high as the ~2% Linux highs previously hit during the early days, but in absolute numbers may be at an all-time high - which wouldn't be at all surprising considering the success of Steam Play and the Steam Deck. The 1.47% marketshare for Linux is healthy considering the overall Steam on Linux user-base in absolute numbers. Now for the month of May Valve is reporting a 0.15% increase month-over-month to 1.47%. April then showed a 0.48% increase for Linux to 1.32%, which is more around where we expect to see the monthly Linux marketshare.

It's been a bumpy year for the Steam on Linux marketshare particularly after a 0.54% drop down to 0.84% in March while the survey results showed a huge influx of Chinese users.
Valve just published the Steam Survey results for May 2023 and on a percentage basis show the Steam on Linux marketshare growing ever so slightly.
