Valve have put up Steam Replay, their end of year little look over your Steam account, so you can show off how many hours you put into games across various platforms. Yes, Valve changed the name of this again. It was Steam Replay, then Steam Year In Review and now back to Steam Replay again.
It's no surprise to see that War Thunder and Helldivers 2 are joint top for me each taking 19% of my total playtime. It's also no surprise for me that Dome Keeper takes 9% of my own time on Steam Deck, I got a bit hooked on that one for a while.
Example of one of the charts you'll see:
And for people who have a Steam Deck it will show your most played on it too:

deck - on the go or for retro (linux arch)
this year two games dominated my play:
starfield
rogue trader
I absolutely loved rogue trader, such a damn good game.
Unlike others here, my Windows usage went up drastically this year. It was all "thanks" to Satisfactory not really working out for me in Linux and i had to play it in Windows.
While it is supposed to work just fine on Linux i guess my CPU (5600X) just was not enough to keep up and i was getting very regular and annoying frametime spikes whatever graphics settings i used to a point it felt like the game was running at 30fps in mid-game. Frametimes were a lot better on Windows until the very end game, i guess wine etc. just has a bit more CPU overhead on Linux.
This is the difference between Factorio and all these wannabes.
Huh. Mine didn't give me a %Linux. I assume it's 100%, but it didn't say as far as I could figure.
I guess it's not displaying the statistics if it's too boring.

PLG needs to get a Deck to make their statistics less boring.
