A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.

Fuuuuuuuck, you made have the same realization.

  • Ditched W10 for Mint

  • Bought a NAS and set up all .arrs and cancelled all my subscriptions (- Spotify)

  • Home media server with Jellyfin

  • Shared said server with friends and family via Tailscale

  • Set up my very first server on a low end device running headless Debian, all from scratch with docker and Portainer. Currently running a Valheim server

All this with 0 previous Linux experience. Reddit beeing cunts made me learn a lot of cool new things these part 12 months!
