Another month gone, and another Steam Hardware Survey to take a look at. This month we have an unfortunate drop in numbers.Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS 64 bit 0.28%-0.02%Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit 0.12%-0.03%Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca 64 bit 0.09%-0.02%Linux 3.10 64 bit 0.08%-0.01%0.94%-0.11%It's also interesting to note that for Linux the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip is the most popular. Intel actually dominates the top of the GPU list it seems. My chip the powerful Nvidia 970 also looks to be quickly rising up.It's always sad to see a decline, but we're talking about such low percentages here it's anyone's guess what happened.It still remains to be seen how Steam Machines will be counted (if at all). On desktop operating systems you need to manually opt-in if it asks you, so will they go through that for SteamOS? I've actually shot off a message to Valve to see if they could clarify how this will be done.Be aware these results will probably not be that accurate as we don't know how they do their percentage results, they could be rounding up, rounding down or truncating the percentages. So a 0.5% could actually be nearly 0.6% as it could be 0.59% but they could do no rounding and simply truncate it.Also remember it is a survey, so it won't ask every single one of you to do it. It would only be truly accurate if it did it behind the scenes, but that's not what a survey is for as this is just to get a general idea.Look at it this way, Steam has around 125 million active users, 1% of 125 million is about 1,250,000 people. What developer wouldn't want to hook into a market that's possibly that big? Of course it doesn't mean they are guaranteed that amount of sales, but it's something fun to remember.See the Hardware Survey on Steam here.
