    Wonder if I can somehow insert my original LGP license into steam...

    Beyond that, hopefully X3:TC and AP will be next (though at least X3:TC works just fine under wine )

    The complete X series is on Steam "Flash Sale" with a discount of 75% for the next 3 hours.
    Sounds like a very good deal.

    More like
    Arch == One of the Unknown Linux

    At least openSUSE does the same (no hint in user agent):
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

    And I'm sure many others do the same.

    Where did they get their Arch stats? Complete horse sh*t.

    As a webpage would see me. (nothing to indicate Arch)

    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

    as my computer is

    uname -a
    Linux (user name removed) 3.6.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 11:57:22 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Arch == Unknown Linux that's why the number is big.

    Ah, I thought you were trying to refute the claim that most GNU/Linux users use Ubuntu.

    Speaking of which, how do they know what distribution is being used to begin with? I thought it wasn't added to the agent string...

    It is added to the user agent, as extra branding, by some distros only.

    Simple:



    Breakdown per platform for Mac and Linux:

    Linux Android 8,298 M 4.80%
    Linux Arch 236 k 0.00%
    Linux CentOS 5.3 M 0.00%
    Linux Debian 13.6 M 0.01%
    Linux Epiphany 2.7 M 0.00%
    Linux Fedora 26.3 M 0.02%
    Linux Gentoo 1.3 M 0.00%
    Linux Kubuntu 4.1 M 0.00%
    Linux Mandriva 11.1 M 0.01%
    Linux Mint 11 M 0.01%
    Linux Mips 1.2 M 0.00%
    Linux Motor 209 k 0.00%
    Linux openSUSE 30 k 0.00%
    Linux Oracle 311 k 0.00%
    Linux Other 1,552 M 0.90%
    Linux PCLinuxOS 278 k 0.00%
    Linux Red Hat 4.3 M 0.00%
    Linux Slackware 91 k 0.00%
    Linux SUSE 22.7 M 0.01%
    Linux Ubuntu 1,189 M 0.69%
    Linux Xubuntu 30 k 0.00%
    Mac Intel 14,534 M 8.40%
    Mac PowerPC 236 M 0.14%
    On the desktop, Mac is 8% of the market. Linux is about 2%, across 15 or so different flavors, each with different desktop environments, default feature set, and other bells and whistles. Mac is a more controlled package, making it far easier to code to, while also managing a much higher market share.

    All the different flavors of Linux, not to mention all the different possible S/W and H/W configs, make it a very unattractive target for developers.
