I read in the Phoronix summary of the June 2025 Steam survey results

"AMD GPU use also continues to dominate among Linux gamers."

Michael posted a screencap of some of the Linux GPU table, but did not do any math.

I decided to do the math.

I looked at

and expanded the Video Card Description (Linux) field. I made a screen capture of the whole table, had an AI extract the text and make a spreadsheet (because there was no way to copy the columns and paste them into Sheets) I produced this summary table myself. (Not adding up to 100% is probably due to rounding individual entries.)

Steam June 2025 Hardware Survey for Linux GPUs

AMD without the Steam Deck leads, at about 2x Nvidia. But given the amount of Nvidia recommendations in this sub, I was surprised to see Nvidia at 22%.

Even Intel makes a decent showing at 10%.

It would be interesting to know what "other" means.

I think when Michael uses words like "dominate" it's an exaggeration, which makes sense given he runs a Linux site.

I did the same for Windows using

Steam June 2025 Hardware Survey for Windows GPUs

I think the Windows results are interesting, if we want to convert Windows gamers to Linux.
