    What’s really interesting to me is these numbers:

    OS Total % of Players Monthly Change
    Windows (Total) 92.33% -4.28%
    Windows 11 64 bit 66.85% +10.57%
    Windows 10 64 bit 25.36% -14.89%
    Linux (Total) 5.33% +3.10%
    Arch Linux 64 bit 0.34% +0.15%
    Linux Mint 22.3 64 bit 0.27% +0.13%
    Ubuntu Core 24 64 bit 0.14% +0.06%
    Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit 0.07% +0.02%
    Ubuntu 25.10 64 bit 0.06% +0.06%
    Manjaro Linux 64 bit 0.06% +0.06%

    From this, it’s roughly that Windows 11 + Linux = (-) Windows 10. So people really are pissed about migrating to 11, and leaving in droves. 5% of the market is huge. This is not being ignored my Microsoft. Rough number I see is there are 14M Steam users in the US. 5.3% of that is 742,000 computers. 742,000 points of entry into OneDrive, Office, Xbox, and of course Copilot that will never be exposed to them. That’s millions in potential revenue lost.

      That 3% jump seems almost too big for me to believe. With the seemingly annual increase of Chinese users in February, which is then corrected in March (which we can see this time), I’d probably wait another month or two if more stats get adjusted or if Linux stays at over 5%.

      The majority of people will ignore advertisements. Usually less than 10% of people will respond to advertisements and an even small percentage will buy something. Out of 742,000 advertisement impressions, they’d be lucky to get 1,000 sales.
