I’ve been seeing a few of this type of post, so I decided to share mine. Now, you might be wondering “why the heck is this guy posting his steam playtime chart in a Linux gaming community, when most of it is windows?”

Well, that’s because Linux is part of the chart. Last year it wasn’t. Just like all previous years. However this year, even if late in the year, I have playtime on Linux.

About half a year ago I built my first PC with Linux in mind from before getting the parts (first time I knew I’d be using predominantly Linux from the start). I still have my windows disk because I haven’t got round to moving all the files from there yet, so its still formatted as NTFS and just mounted so I have easy access. I havent booted it since building the PC. I havent needed to. Sure I cant play Destiny 2 or Apex for example, but ehh. Never really played Apex much before anyway, and I’ll live without destiny 2.

Heres to 2024 being 100% penguin, or at least being far more than windows 🍻

      If you have one, it would be somewhere on your Year in Review page on Steam. Even though it says devices, it seems to only split it by Linux/Windows/MacOS/Steam Deck. So unless you use a Steam Deck it most likely won’t be on there. I’ve used five devices including my Deck within the last year, and it only split it two ways.
