That list is just weird and only shows a few specific distros. If you go to the Linux only results you get way more info. It shows Bazzite as used by 5.53% of respondents, +1.29% from last month.

    Ah, that makes way more sense. Nearly 6% of the gaming Linux market for such a new distro, and rapidly growing, sounds much more like where I would've expected Bazzite to place, based on my own experience and the tune of most recommendation threads here.

    Agreed. Ive been active in a lot of Linux communities for a good while now, and I've never seen a single distro being recommended as much as Bazzite. Mint was probably the closest, but it's always had detractors due to its stable base affecting hardware support.
