Love to see it!

This site won't update till tomorrow, but Steam's English Linux numbers are >2x the overall numbers (China apparently hates Linux). Going to be something like 7% for English-speaking Linux use. :)

See chart at the very bottom

Edit: 7.09% :)

I find it weird that China hates Linux

Harder to centralize control over the user. That's the big reason, I'd imagine.

Isn't that just the language choice? I always use english for any OS because the translations just suck in my opinion, and make it harder to find any settings or menus. I assume it might be also partly caused by the translation not being ideal?

I find it weird if the admin was pushing for anything besides Linux. Especially apple/windows. But I know nothing about china
