Do these surveys happen on a monthly basis? I'm not doing these on a monthly basis. So my data is not here. Could I participate automatically somehow, just by launching the Steam client?
These small variations tend to happen because the data is not perfect. The important thing is to see how it trends over time. When we clean up the data to reduce the noise of the ups and downs, we see that it's trending up.
0.3% change on the steam survey is not a "dip" it's a blip.

When you only have 4% to begin with, 0.3% is not a blip lol. It’s almost 10% of your install base.
Its over. I'm going into hibernation until the next steam survey says we're back
It's still trending upwards, it's just back to normal after a giant spike
Too many LinusTechTips watchers got sad when Fortnite wouldn't run.
Good.
Bawwww, I was happy to be able to do my part for the steam linux charts for the first time, but it was not the month of the Linux desktop I guess
With the amount of Tumbleweed submissions on protondb I would have thought BSD would make the list by now
