Valve's SteamOS is gaining traction among gamers, particularly those using handheld devices, as more users switch from Windows 11 for their gaming needs. Recent data from the Steam Hardware & Software survey highlights this growing trend.
Editor’s Note: This shift matters because it shows gamers are embracing alternatives to Windows for gaming, which could shake up the dominance of traditional operating systems in the PC gaming space. If SteamOS continues to grow, it might push Valve and other developers to invest more in Linux-based gaming, offering players more choice and potentially better performance for certain devices.
