Linux overtakes macOS: This is what people prefer to game on

According to the latest Steam hardware survey analysis for July 2023, there are some interesting developments. In terms of processors, the growth of AMD's Ryzen CPUs has slowed down. The market share is stagnant at 33.19%, with a weak growth of 1.16 percentage points compared to the previous month. And that's not all. You can see all the info about the Steam deck in the video.

Interesting is not only the change in the hardware used, but also the change in the operating systems used. Linux increased by a good quarter to 1.96% and overtook macOS for the first time, which has a distribution of 1.84%. One reason for this could be the new Steam OS, which is preinstalled on the Steam Deck and based on Linux.
The list of the most popular operating systems is still topped by Windows 10, which, however, has lost 1.56 percentage points and is now at 57.87%. Windows 11 is behind Windows 10 with a penetration of 36.67%.
