Up to 2.7% in May 2025 from 1.5% in May 2023. Almost x2 in 2 years is very impressive.

Avg people don’t change operating systems

This is a huge argument, even Linus Torvalds said that many years ago. The average person just wants to buy a computer and use it normally for work, casual stuff or gaming. They won't make the effort to change the operating system.

Now if we could just get steam decks in retail stores

We can also get the Steam OS on different hardwares, just like the Lenovo Legion Go S

    There is a non-insignificant amount of people who just throw away their computer when something gets messed up because they don't know how to reinstall windows. Not only do average people not know how to install an operating system, they don't even know how to learn. Many people have help, techie friends and family, but many don't, and they can sadly only be helped at scale.
