@valentino With how many devices that run Windows (without #tpm 2.0 or 8gb ram) or MacOS (earlier than 2018), it’s no surprise people are #SwitchingToLinux .

To give some perspective the GTX1060 (from 2016) still holds 4% of steam users.

What falls into "unknown"??

ReactOS, Haiku, ArcaOS, Icaros Desktop, and the like, I’d imagine.
