A moment I’ve no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.

    Sure you can turn it off, and realistically this isn’t that bad an antifeature. But Microsoft has been making a lot of unpopular decisions (Randomly restarting, Edge shilling, the tpm requirement, general privacy violations, ads in the start menu), and this is by far the worst reaction I’ve seen from Windows users I follow.
