Valve has shared their Steam Survey results for the month of June which shows the Steam on Linux marketshare holding steady.

In Msy Steam on Linux rose by 0.15% to a 1.47% marketshare after prior months tumbling around the low 1% space. For June the Steam Survey results show a slight (0.03%) to 1.44%. On a percentage basis it's still off the all-time highs around 2% but not bad in absolute numbers considering the continued growth of the Steam customer base.

Part of the small downward activity on the Linux side may be due to a 2% uptick in Chinese users that tend to run Windows.
