Linux overtakes MacOS on Steam thanks to the Steam Deck and SteamOS

Despite an insurmountable lead for Windows, MacOS has been in second place. Thanks to the Steam Deck, Linux has overtaken Apple's OS on Steam.

Cool love the steam deck. Hope valve return and make steam machines.

If they did it right this time and have the same type of focus for that as they do Steam Deck, that would be awesome. The problem when they did it before is that they just sort of threw out the name "Steam Machines" and some hardware standards, and then never did anything else to cultivate it. If Valve actually made an official Steam Machine, I might actually be interested.

Really just tells you how small the MacOS gaming market was even after all this time.

Yeah about every 7-8 years one or two major titles will either get Mac ports or launch simultaneously on Mac and we'll get a wave of articles from the Apple-obsessed writers at various game sites about how Mac gaming is finally turning a corner, and then it never does.

Last year a few of the guys I play PC games with and I were trying to find a decent RTS game we could play with our friend who only has a Mac. He couldn't figure out why MS didn't want to prioritize porting recent Age of Empires games to Mac lol.

That’s awesome, well deserved. I love my Steam Deck. Steam OS is fantastic at this point. I can do almost anything on Deck with desktop mode that I use my normal laptop for. Since launch it has constantly improved. One of my favorite devices ever

I don’t know if you have tried the Rog Ally yet. But if you have, how would you compare it to the Steam Deck? People keep talking about how great it is. I know the Rog Ally is more powerful, but I think the Deck is more efficient and the better value.
