I collected the hardware survey from 2025 and onward.
March's numbers has a significant swing, we'll have to see if that's an aberration or a trend. Given that the survey partipants are randomly selected, the numbers will tend to jump around a bit.

You gonna post may's update?
Yep, here it is

I had checked yesterday and it wasn't posted

Linux has been losing ground these past 2 months, windows is sort of floating around the same point and macos is stiill at the 2% mark, losing a tenth of a percent - too small to say anything other then just a statistical anomaly

Steam as posted their hardware survey
Windows continues reversing their market share losses from prior months, and macos has a somewhat small increase and Linux continues to lose ground.

Mac support is terrible. A lot of games just don't have Mac support or native Mac support and that's really sad.

I would love to play some Indies on my M1 but nah. The last game I bought was Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition especially because the Mac support.

I think it boils down to the fact that no one believes they can be profitable, not developers, publishers, or even Apple.

It very interesting to see windows started to drop down, and seeing Linux going up hmmmm other day I heard that windows started to try lock up on their pc or laptop because they use linux for some reason
 
I also like how 16GB of VRAM has finally overtaken 8GB. Wait that is for the combined results. Interestingly Windows only still shows 8GB with the massive lead.
 
Here's July's numbers
windows has slid under the 94% percentile, where as Linux as risen above 4% and macOS jump up a tenth
