Steam Hardware Survey Changes, Now Split Per-Platform

I for one am glad to see 32 bit linux going away. Sadly Windows is slow to catch up. And that is not likely to change considering the situation in China.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but, the totals leave 0.10% unaccounted for?

There's Wine somewhere among "Windows XP 32 bit 5.96% -0.09%"

These are the proper totals, including what was originally in "Other" since they took it out.

Yeah, but 95.00 + 3.56 + 1.34 = 99.90.

So 0.10% of the statistics submitted don't have an OS?

Although I no longer bother with Steam in Wine, I used to run it in a 64 bit prefix and using Windows 7 as the default OS. Pretty sure Wine statistics will be all over the place depending on what is needed for certain games.

Hah didn't even notice that you're right!

I was surveyed in Steam whilst in Manjaro a few weeks ago rather surprisingly, so I guess I'm in the "Linux 64bit" category. Never had the survey pop up whilst in Linux before and I was in the Steam Linux Client beta way back when so I've only had to wait ~16 months for that! Maybe the glitch with not sending surveys to Linux clients has been resolved? My guess is it hasn't and I was just lucky to get the survey because I'd expect the Linux share to rise a little once that particular glitch (or whatever is behind it) has actually been sorted out. I'm pretty sure that there's a large amount of Linux only users that still haven't seen the survey ever. I've had it multiple times whilst in Windows in the last year. When I was still gaming on Windows a lot I used to get the survey most months. Now I'm mostly gaming on Linux I've seen it once in Linux and 3-4 times in Windows (which I rarely touch these days). Usually I see it Windows when I haven't booted into it for months and the survey pops up as soon as the Steam client loads. Most annoying.

32bit in general needs to die. It'll be 30 years old next year (the Intel 80386 was the first 32bit processor, released in 1985). That alone is a reason to kill off 32bit. Everything really should be 64bit by now. In fact, where's my 64bit flying car and/or hoverboard? Hollywood lied to me!!!!!!!!

There's absolutely no way these include all the 'Other' numbers, unless you believe that absolutely no one is running Steam on a 32-bit Linux other than Ubuntu 13.10 (and I know I am).

I wonder how the 39.26% "other" in the Linux version statistics breaks down. It apparently got a sizable bump this month (+7.62%!)..

I wonder if Kubuntu shows up as Ubuntu or other.
