What happened in squint eyes March 23?

After looking at the other graphs, it coincides with a spike for simplified Chinese, which means for some reason a lot of people in presumably china were way more active on that month.

Valve screws up the survey surprisingly often. As you said, usually PC cafes (which are very popular in Asia) skew the data when that happens.

Steam Deck was a huge W for Linux gaming.

This isn't a linear trend. Probably a slightly geomtric trend. Source: I turned my phone sideways to analyze the line.

It's a percentage so likely one of the other groups expanded. Guessing the dip is due to more MacOS users.

Statistical noise. The survey isn't accurate enough to overanalyze every data point; that's what the trend line is there for.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
