I didn't expect Arch Linux to be so high in the list for Steam...:

  - "SteamOS Holo" 64 bit: 26.32%
  - Other:  17.67%
  - "Arch Linux" 64 bit: 9.54%
  - Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit: 7.85%
  - "CachyOS" 64 bit: 7.20%

Just a little more and we will be at rounding error levels.

But current ram prices are doing a lot of linux evangelization despite the best efforts of the linux community to deter newcomers. I was able to stretch my 64GB quite a bit more on linux than on windows. And yes - I know about the different commit strategies on windows and linux. It's not that - is just uses less ram and that's it.
