Up to 2.7% in May 2025 from 1.5% in May 2023. Almost x2 in 2 years is very impressive.

      I’m not honestly. As far as I know SteamOS is based on arch which should give it a massive boost in comparison to other linux distros just from the number of Steam Decks

        I would expect Steam to report Steam OS as Steam OS.

        They managed to differentiate Manjaro to it’s own entry after all. It’s Arch based too.

          Manjaro is not Arch based. They use pacman, but they use their own repositories. They create a ton of issues that way.

            Although Manjaro is Arch-based and Arch compatible, it is not Arch.

            Manjaro package repository

            Stable branch - There is no solid rule indicating when Stable branch is snapped from testing. It can be anything from one to four weeks…

            Testing branch - Testing branch is snapped from unstable at irregular intervals - …

            Unstable branch - Unstable branch is synced several times daily from Arch stable

            Manjaro Unstable is Arch Stable

        They got hit by a lot of negative reviews and bad publicity those last years. Myself gave it a try last years and while it isn’t a bad distro from first impression… The fact that they add bookmarks into my firefox and Manjaro bootscreen at start gave me a strange feeling… Specially because this happend after the bios bootscreen hack. And I know this is not related but it still gave me strange gut feeling and always follow your guts !

        Happy EndeavourOS user !
