Not much of a surprise to see people have bounced off.

Bounce off from 3.20% to 3.19%? Not the wording I'd use.

Why not? People bounce off Linux all the time. I'm not implying they're doing it in droves or anything.

It's also possible Linux usage didn't shrink, but the Steam userbase simply grew faster, with people getting new Windows 11 computers for Christmas

As the article says:

If more Steam users were active in general thanks to the year-end holidays or for taking advantage of winter sale discounts, Steam on Linux at 3.19% still may be similar or larger in absolute terms than November.

Also a possibility, yes
