What's the % share 9ng English installations? Can't figure out how to view that
83.11% of Linux is English https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=linux
that's 7.59% of total
at the bottom here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/
This makes a lot of sense because Steam doesn’t care about the OS lacales on Linux. It defaults to English and you can switch to other language, but you have to go to settings. I switch the language in my client after installation, but many people won’t care enough or won’t even know.
Thanks, I thought it was on Valve's website. They're just serving statistics based on the raw data probably. Got it
