Linux just gained another .13% usage, while Windows lost .23. Another win for Linux

Where is this stated?? If that was the case, the difference to other distros would be much higher. SteamOS is usually listed separately as HoloISO: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux

Since it separates Manjaro I'd assume it also does it for other Arch based distros with their own branding like Endeavour or Artix?

I know it used to, but it must have changed since I remember. Didn't see Holo when I looked at the survey this morning either, I guess that's what I get for commenting before I have coffee

It only shows up when you use the dropdown menu to filter for Linux only. Then you also will see Freedesktop SDK (Flatpak). For whatever reason Flatpak and SteamOS Holo are ignored if you look at all operating systems instead Linux only. If you compare the numbers, they are not added to Archlinux or anything else.
