Initially Valve's Steam Hardware & Software Survey for December 2025 showed Linux at 3.19%, but they appear to have amended it with a nice boost for Linux.
I’m not surprised by this at all. I tried 24.04 and found it lacked what attracted me to 22.04. It had some great new features, but overall the 22.04 experience is better. I’ll keep trying it though, still early days.

At the bottom, “Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS users will receive an upgrade notification in the OS starting January 2026. If you wish to upgrade to Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS before then, after backing up your files, open Terminal and run”
Probably the Feb numbers should reflect a larger migration to the latest Pop.
as a Pop user, it’s surprising to see most of its users sticking to the old 22.04.

they chose lts for a reason
I need colour management and it’s going to arrive with HDR support later. :(
Edit: 22.04 GNOME has it, 24.04 COSMIC does not.
