No news is good news, as the saying goes, or something like that. Valve updated the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for July 2024 and for Linux / Steam Deck the changes were pretty minimal. You can see the Linux share over time on our Steam Tracker.
For July 2024 the operating system stats are:
- Windows 96.55% -0.06%
- Linux: 2.08% (no change)
- macOS 1.37% +0.06%
Here's the main Linux distribution stats:
- SteamOS Holo 64 bit (Steam Deck) 40.97% -0.20%
- Arch Linux 64 bit 7.99% -0.09%
- Freedesktop SDK 23.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit 6.35% -0.36%
- Linux Mint 21.3 64 bit 5.20% +0.10%
- Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS 64 bit 4.04% -0.22%
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS 64 bit 3.41% +0.38%
- Ubuntu Core 22 64 bit 2.99% +0.02%
- "Manjaro Linux" 64 bit 2.93% -0.16%
- Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS 64 bit 2.73% +0.08%
- Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) 64 bit 2.44% +2.44%
- Other 20.96% -1.98%

Meanwhile according to Statcounter, Linux overall hit another all-time high.

Staying steady above 2% is a very good sign. Lets hope we can gain a bit more marketshare and end the year above 2.5%. Maybe even hit 3% if we're lucky.

Steam Deck launched on February 25, 2022, thinking about the timeline and massive success, It will be interesting to see what update interval Steam Deck goes with.
I think it's been great because developers have been more resource efficient targeting the Steam Deck which makes their games more available to more customers.
Games like Terraria, MineCraft, and StarDew Valley all have massive followings because they could run on potatos.
I am curious if they will go with a 3 year cycle or 4 year cycle and we will see something ~Feb 2025 or ~Feb 2026.
I wonder if they will use numerical versioning or follow Xbox -- will we see Steam Deck 2 and then after that Steam Deck 2 Episode 1 :P

i hope not, they havent even launched in Brasil, or in many countries now that we are speaking of that.
i hope they can endure 5 years, despite the competition launching things more powerfull, if they can keep the device relevant for 5 years runing the big lauch titles, then steam deck 2 will sell like hot cakes.
they still have many strategies they can try, ranging from things like FSR that they already did, to hall stick sensors...

no, the next steam deck will be steam deck 3, making people confuse about the fate of the missing steamdeck 2 and curious about the fact that valve finally learned to count to 3... except they didnt because they skiped the 2.

What I'm curious about is to see when the Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors start showing up in the survey.
