Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%

I’ve been advocating for Linux for a long time. At least to people I know use nothing but the web browser. Gaming and art have been a slow grind. Gaming Steam Deck was the game changer for single player gamers.

Art, it’s people that never use software close to their fullest but feel like they have to use what their favorite YouTuber/social media personality uses. Professionals I never encourage a switch unless they’re paid too. Already stressed doing edits in the software they know to make a deadline let alone adding in learning new software

Hobbyist and aspiring indies, you don’t work with a team of a dozen editors, try Kdenlive. Solo music artist, try ardour especially if you don’t even plan to drop your day job for a full time pursuit of a music career. At least practically every hobbyist I’ve met that focuses on digital drawing/painting uses Krita
