When chinese language drops, Linux "grow"; but that growth seems to fall back whenever Chinese language return on top... sometime over the overall English language (temporarily making English a secondary language).

There's a constant Linux growth on Steam? Yes, but Chinese language introduce some noise (I doubt publishers are willing to make English language a secondary concern, under Chinese, after reading Steam HWs).

PS: nothing against chinese people, this is all about statistical noise: people jumping on their chair before checking the whole thing.

Probably should have just posted this in that thread about people on Steam switching to Linux. Without context, this seems just like some weird post.
