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. There were a few issues I spotted like languages and such not adding up, but now they do so it appears there's a few corrections that were made to it this month.

Now the latest figures from Valve show for December 2025:

Windows: 94.23%
Linux: 3.58%
macOS: 2.18%

So, from Jan'25 to Dec'25, Linux market share grew from 2.06% to 3.58%. That is about 74% growth: (3.58% - 2.06%) / 2.06% * 100% = 73.786...%

Same numbers for 2024 gives about 17% growth for that year: (2.29% - 1.95%) / 1.95% * 100% = 17.435...%
