It's only listed if you filter to Linux. It's called steamOS Holo 64 bit.

Oh, hey, it is. Why the hell would it work that way? It seems to be manually excluded from the unfiltered list despite being by far the biggest usage.

So the data exists but it's weirdly buried for no reason.

Still, thanks for the pointer. I genuinely didn't know they had it set up that way.

Could be weirdness, or oversight, or maybe optimistically trying to quietly encourage Linux usage outside of Steam Deck? Who knows.

I think they probably felt that having SteamOS perpetually be the holder for the "most popular" slot in the Linux category is not what the survey is for.

But then, they could have also finally provided a historical chart of OS usage, or a different category for SteamOS altogether.
