I’ve been seeing a few of this type of post, so I decided to share mine. Now, you might be wondering “why the heck is this guy posting his steam playtime chart in a Linux gaming community, when most of it is windows?”

Well, that’s because Linux is part of the chart. Last year it wasn’t. Just like all previous years. However this year, even if late in the year, I have playtime on Linux.

About half a year ago I built my first PC with Linux in mind from before getting the parts (first time I knew I’d be using predominantly Linux from the start). I still have my windows disk because I haven’t got round to moving all the files from there yet, so its still formatted as NTFS and just mounted so I have easy access. I havent booted it since building the PC. I havent needed to. Sure I cant play Destiny 2 or Apex for example, but ehh. Never really played Apex much before anyway, and I’ll live without destiny 2.

Heres to 2024 being 100% penguin, or at least being far more than windows 🍻

    I didn’t see that on mine. Mine just had Linux and Steam Deck, and I played a few VR-only games on the Index.

      Must have a cutoff where it doesn’t show a device/OS. Mine was at 6%, so probably 5%.

        My Steam Deck was on my chart at 2%. Pretty sure my VR time this year was higher than my Steam Deck time. Clearly there’s some criteria it’s using to decide what’s shown since you see it and I don’t, but I don’t think it’s percent playtime. Dunno–could also be that the VR games I was playing didn’t trigger the VR category for whatever reason. It was mostly Beat Saber.
