In a move that has delighted me, Valve has split up the Steam Hardware Survey to better show each platform individually.
So, we now don't have this random "other" in the main list, it seems some of it is now accounted for in each lists total, hooray!
Something to note is that it doesn't show the lesser represented distro's, I for example use Manjaro which isn't shown.
So, to look back on January Linux was actually on 1.34%, not 1.11%!
Screen-shot for proofs:
It's good to finally get a more accurate look at the Steam stats. I hope they keep this in place in a few days for February's statistics.

We were talking about that two days ago in #steamlug. If you calculate it by the amount of Linux Other, which is 39%, from the visible Linux entries of 0.86%, you get only 0.34% on top.
Together that makes 1.20%, rounding errors can not explain the gap to 1.34%.. or did they just round the visible entries to 1% and added the Linux Other of 0.34%?
Also where did you get the number 1.11% from?

Whoops, I am not logged in, so second post. Just looked at the logs again and it was 1.41%, not 1.20% (I calculated 1.42% just now), so strike the above.
And I see others have commented that the total of the combined OSs is missing 0.10%, so the gap of 0.07% could be explained by that.

Aaaand, another one. I wrote up a lengthy comment about it over at Softpedia's news, because thanks to the change given for the Linux Other entry, you can calculate the correct amount for December too.
1.07% was the sum of the visible entries plus 0.50% from Other makes 1.57%, that makes for a 0.15% decrease in January to 1.42%.
