Maybe all those Microsoft Windows 10 laptops and desktops that cannot be upgraded to Win11 will get reinstalled with linux rather than go to landfill?

Let's see how much a Linux laptop/desktop has:
1.97 * (1-0.4) = 1,182 %
Good result. In 10 years Linux desktop will reach 2% .
Also, the Steam Deck is not launching a whole new ecosystem of apps and games like Windows Phone tried and failed to do. SteamOS is mostly win32-compatible, so it needs to become popular enough that the small incompatibilities are treated as bugs. Some game developers are already doing that.

If you take a look at the language numbers at GamingOnLinux.com under their SteamTracker. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/ You can see that there is a bit more English language users in the survey and a bit less Simplified Chinese language users. That probably explains the tiny bump at the end of the year given that the percentage of Chinese gamers that use Linux is significantly less. YOY growth is still going to be the most reliable indicator.
Also remember, they used to count PC sales and Laptop sales separately until Intel started taking a significant hit in PC sales. After that, they started lumping the numbers together as there was no significant difference in experience between laptop and PC anymore. It's the same with Linux Desktop and Steam Deck. They both use the same userland. Sales in either segment will help both segments. "The rising tide lifts all ship".

By the way, I'm trying to add an image (a graph) but Phoronix says that my quota is full. Does anyone know how to free that?

I agree that people should switch. And they can do so. Every single user can learn how and do it or get someone to do it for them. But something is going to have to open a whole bunch of minds at once to turn should and can into did.
