Linux usage hits an all-time high in Steam Hardware Survey—and AMD processors continue their march against Intel

Linux usage on Steam has hit an all-time high of 3.20%, with a notable rise in recent months, potentially due to backlash against Windows 11's strict requirements. AMD processors continue to gain ground against Intel, now commanding 43.56% of the gaming processor market. The Steam Hardware Survey also reveals interesting trends in gaming graphics cards, with the RTX 5070 becoming the most common GPU among surveyed systems. However, AMD's RDNA 4 cards are notably absent from the survey data, raising questions about their representation. While not a comprehensive market analysis, the survey provides insights into the gaming landscape in response to recent hardware launches.
