About the March 2026 hardware survey, what is "64 bit" and "0 64 bit"? Why do they represent 25% of the linux devices? (lemmy.nz)

If we remove them from the survey, this leaves us with 75% of 5.33%, which is something around 3.96%.

I think the 5.33% is a bug, 3.96% sounds more realistic and in line with the growth linux was having before.

I think this is an error on the survey. Was anybody able to talk to Valve about this? I forgot which email to send this question to.

There's no Fedora or any derivatives, so I imagine they failed to detect it correctly - it must be either hidden in other or in these two

I remember the last time I participated in the survey my Fedora system was summarised simply as "Linux 64bit" or something like that.

I assume that Fedora users might install Steam with Flatpak maybe?

Bazzite specifically might have contributed quite a bit to the recent growth
