I think the “Ubuntu Core 22” means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.
If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses
core22as its base.This makes a lot of sense
using snap?
Glad to see it’s popularity is waning. Snap is the inferior universal package by many metrics and the steam snap in particular is very not ready for prime time.

That’s not saying much, is it?
One of the last conversations I had on Reddit was with a guy complaining about how crap Linux is, that he installed Ubuntu and the desktop didn’t even work, it went straight to a terminal, and after some prodding he said that he couldn’t even get APT to work, and it hit me: “You didn’t install Ubuntu Core, their embedded OS version, did you?” No response.
Lmao.
To be fair on the guy, Canonical’s website is corporate sewage. finding the right ISO is a chore.
I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core
There’s a Build Your Core button. And that takes you to a docs page that lets you download a pre-built image. I think it’s pretty obvious that this is not the Desktop Ubuntu.

is what I see when I go to ubuntu.com on mobile. Seriously? Where is the ISO Canonical?! Why do I have to open the menu and choose Products -> Ubuntu OS -> Ubuntu Desktop to reach the ISO?
The money comes from corporate customers, that’s the sad truth. If you go to RedHat’s website, their Worsktation option is hidden in menus as well. Fedora doesn’t seem to be mentioned at all.
Minimal install for maximum frames
Yep, less overheads! This is the way.
I mean, I can kinda see it being useful for people wanting to sell a wee box that does nothing but launch a game on steam.
Useful for servers
Why is arch at the top tho? Apparently Steam OS is its own point, are those the Steam OS clones also based on Arch? Or maybe, people just accepted the superiority of Arch (/s)
The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they’d be much higher than Arch.
steam is based on arch so you would have to add those two and then compare and that is 48.7 so all the rest would have to be debian.
by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.
From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.
2-3% might be OpenSuse
I mean I was sorta using your logic. arch is more like debain than ubuntu.

I’ve seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.
I changed friends to mainly the ones here on lemmy, specifically the german communities, and I was surprised that there’s an actual kinda cult here, just by the germans/ich_iel’ers, with it’s own community, and also a lot of members in Matrix. So I didn’t really see people switch to arch, but rather I changed friends to the much more nerdy type where arch is more common.
changed friends?
Well … I moved away from the okay ones and was finally able to drop the right-conservative (with straight up proud nazi friends) “friends”, which I basically had to have because otherwise I would have been literally alone in school. And so I searched for new friends, either online on Lemmy/Matrix or offline, in uni.
holy crap. I can’t imagine actually knowing someone being public about nazi stuff. There were folks with like confederate flags but it was a little after the dukes of hazard and I don’t think they had the meaning to it that has resurfaced in this millenium.
I couldn’t believe that either, until I met that person. I’m just glad they were in the grade below me, so no direct contact.

I don’t use Arch Linux, I use “Arch Linux”. Completely different, btw.
it’s just how you signal you’re using the correct amount of nasal upturn when mentioning “Arch Linux.”
I have fedora server edition set up headless primarily to host docker containers and have a noVNC headless steam streaming container on it, does that count?
Funny words magic man.
How well is that working for you? This setup in particular, but also streaming steam games in general?
It works but the native steam streaming is better, I would recommend a full os with steam running on it and just put the containers on that, you will save a lot of headaches the only real benefit of what I have is you don’t have to run the desktop itself unless you’re using it, since I don’t actually use it much It is fine for my very specific use case.
Alright, good to know. Thanks for your input!
See that Pop!_OS? It me.
Indeed, looking forward to gaming on PopOS Cosmic beta next year
Why am I imagining an internet connected fridge that has a common exploit and people getting into them just to play doom on them or some shit?
Sounds like something Bringus Studios would do
💯😂 Sadly I imagine it’s probably a sub-distro like Mint or Pop erroneously coming up as the Ubuntu it forks off, not an army of Bringi out there, but you never know…
it might be a emulator. such as exagear. which only need a minimal linux environment to proot into. and all gui are done by wine
I just noticed how that Arch is in quotes and “64 bit” was added. Does anyone use 32 Bit Arch for gaming? Is it even possible to run Steam on that?
And why not go with:
Arch Linux (rolling-release) 64 bit
Is there 32bit arch release at all? I know there’s arch based 32bit distros, but as far as i know, arch itself is x86-64 and arm only
Arch linux dropped 32bit support a few years ago. But you could probably still make a 32bit build yourself.
Mb x32 vs x64 releases of steam itself?
this seems wrong.
