In 2023, I had 97% Linux with the only Windows games being Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of modding.
Now that I got modding to work on Linux I resolved to have 100% playtime on Linux for 2024. But Steam Replay says nothing because its still only one device :(.
Gaben, throw us a bone here pls.
Well damn. Between Android gaming and Steam Deck, I guess I did, too.
Its funny that only people who didnt play 100% of games on linux(excluding steamdeck) can make posts about how much they played on linux
Does the Steam Deck count as Linux Gaming? I assume it does, but honestly in the year 2024 and on niche forums I never know.
If it does count, then I bet my gaming percent is nearly as high. I prefer the larger screen on my laptop and some games that I play don’t run (or don’t run as well) on the Deck, but otherwise everything else about the Steam Deck makes it the superior experience.
Not for this chat it doesn’t. I’m 100% Linux, but the Replay counts the Deck Separately:
First year without Windows on the chart 😅
Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they’re the same thing.
But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.
it’s impressive you managed to make the second one look like the steam deck logo
Spending hours into a game is not the flex you think it is
Spending the whole year gaming exclusively on Linux is.
Why not?
My 762h in Garry’s Mod begs to differ. I’ll need to build a garage though in case my son is an idiot and doesn’t understand the absolute digital empire I have built online.
Let people have fun
I switched to Linux after the Recall junk, and one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!)
It’s weird that the graph does not show my steam deck at all. I got it around launch, then got my wife one too. Now she runs Linux on her computer too.

Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.
Google photos on Android keeps syncing my images even when it was disabled. You can’t trust these guys.
i doubt it says anything if you played 100% on windows
Mine certainly didn’t show any kind of OS breakdown. I would have thought if you didn’t use more than 1 OS, it probably just skips showing you the stats.
Anyone know if Bazzite counts as Steam Deck or Linux as it uses Big Picture Mode by default?
Also if you run Windows or Bazzite on a Steam Deck does that count as Steam Deck or just Windows and Linux?
Bazzite counts as a Steam Deck when you’re playing in Steam mode, Linux when in desktop mode.
Is that the same as SteamOS?
It counts Bazzite as SteamOS.
Don’t seek validation from corporations.
I hate this cat meme. I think that cat has untreated eye infections.
Its just a photoshop of the serious cat meme, no cats were harmed in the making of this meme… probably
This pic is photoshopped too. Cats have huge eyes, someone made them like 40% smaller
Well it’s photoshopped with an image of a different cat with a probable eye infection. Not a lot better.
This just looks cursed to me now
Thank you. I feel so much better now.
This cat needs some teeth
Donate yours.
My cat looked like this when I’d cut onions. He was strongly affected by it and it would look like he was crying.
Here is mine.

Wait, what changed with Skyrim modding?
Technically you could mod these games on Linux but it was a bit wonky. So I preferred to play these on Windows with MO2.
Then I started using Steam Tinker Launch to setup and run MO2 on Linux and thus stopped using Windows.
However STL does not seem to be getting updates these days so I now use this for modding Skyrim, Fallout, etc: https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer
Edit: Nexus mods are also working on a cross-platform app for modding, though its still in alpha. Currently only a few games are supported with support for more coming soon.
Next year, play on a generic desktop Linux distribution as well as Steam Deck. They’ll show up as distinct platforms:
Steam Deck is not available in my country :/
There is expected to be an announcement at CES that Valve is partnering to bring other vendors into making SteamOS handhelds, so you likely will get your chance at something soon.
Being able to mod Skyrim on Linux was the final nail in Window’s coffin for me too! Haven’t found a game that doesn’t work…even anti-cheat games like Elden Ring work flawlessly with Proton.
100% on Steam Deck. No pie charts for me 😒
Just a circle is technically a pie chart.
Nope, it’s a pie.
There’s no circle. The graph simply doesn’t display if there’s only one category. That’s how it was for me too when I was 100% Steam Deck.
Ooh, the secretest of achievements! So secret, even QA missed it!
I’ll have to try for that in 2025. Gonna be wiping Windows over Christmas.
