survey Steamy corresponding to the month of December 2022 brings results that show it Windows 11 continues to outperform its predecessorsand it can even be said that the sector playing games It is one of the few, if not the only, in which Microsoft’s next-generation operating system manages to shine in terms of user share, despite the fact that the performance is rather flat.

Windows, monopolizes a 96.15% share among Steam users by adding all its versions. Within the stated percentage (if we count it, if it were 100%), 65.42% use Windows 10 64-bit, which decreased by 0.04% compared to 28.42% Windows 11 64-bit, which is an increase of 0.44%. The adoption of Windows 11 is still slow, mainly due to the fact that most of the PCs that work, including the ones that don’t playersThey are not compatible.

Gaming is the sector where Windows 11 does better, quite possibly because the hardware is updated more often, even though it itself has seen a significant slowdown in the last six or seven years. Due, the most used graphics with all systems are GTX 1650 (5.99%), GTX 1060 (5.46%) and RTX 2060 (4.50%).

The most used graphics is consistent with the resolution most used by Steam users regardless of system, 1080p, which received a 64.60% share in the December 2022 survey. The second most common resolution is 1440p with 11.80%, followed by 1366×768 5.88% and 4K with 2.64%.

Third, this time it can be seen that Linux is used by 1.38% of Steam users according to the survey results, which is a decrease of 0.06% from the survey results.month November 2022. Going deeper into this segment, it can be highlighted The 1.70% share loss seen by SteamOS Holo, the operating system pre-installed on the Steam Deck. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is being consolidated as a second option after more users migrated from 20.04 LTS.

However, perhaps the highlight in Linux is “Freedesktop.org SDK 22.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit”, a Flatpak package of the Steam client available on Flathub. Quietly, this “universal” Linux version is gaining popularity. Counting it as a system is a bit of a cheat, but it provides the same framework regardless of distribution.

In a nutshell, Windows is still the absolute dominant when it comes to playing games, with macOS maintaining a 2.48% share and which, unlike Linux, grew, albeit by just 0.03%. After all, the panorama is not that radically different from what was seen on previous occasions, with NVIDIA strongly dominating on the graphics level (albeit in a less exaggerated way than in other indicators) and AMD very much scraping by. little or no Intel share of processors.
