Steam Linux Usage Was Up Slightly In June

With the start of a new month brings our monthly recap and it also brings Valve's updated Steam hardware/software survey numbers.

For June 2014, the overall Linux market-share using this randomly-sampled Steam survey was at 1.20%, an increase over May's 1.13%. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit continued gaining ground as did Linux Mint 17 Qiana. The 32-bit Linux distributions continue to be (fortunately) declining.

Overall, the numbers this month aren't much of a surprise with generally seeing 1~1.5% Linux gamers on Steam and there not yet being any compelling reason for Windows gamers to switch to Linux, SteamOS and Steam Machines still being developed, etc.
