    ~95% on windows. Sub-1% shift to linux on non-desktop equipment. These are not the same thing.

        Yeah, I can plug a Nintendo Switch into a display but that doesn’t make it a desktop.

          Someone doesn’t know what the Steam Deck actually is.

          No, because a Nintendo console is not a PC. Steam Deck and the other SteamOS devices have a literal “Enter Desktop Mode” feature and desktop use is (as seen in the promotional picture) an advertised feature.
