Posted by Michael Larabel on January 05, 2013
Valve has released their December Steam statistics that show initial data on Linux client usage.
Per the Steam hardware survey, the Ubuntu Linux usage currently comes down to:
Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit - 0.29%
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit - 0.26%
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS - 0.13%
Ubuntu 12.10 - 0.12%
So all in all, the Steam Linux usage is just at about 1% with Windows platforms dominating about 95% of this gaming platform, but at least the 64-bit Ubuntu Linux builds have much greater popularity than their 32-bit counterparts.
