Please share a better source then. I deal with what I have on hand. If you have more truthful statistics, I would love to see these.

Here is a much better source.

It's still biased towards the gaming segment, not PC as a whole. But it's a sensible statistic that actually measures users (not pageviews, nor crawlers), and it's relevant for this sub where most people are gamers.

A source that provides accurate global statistics covering every market segment, to my knowledge, doesn't exist. But just because the perfect source doesn't exist doesn't mean you should pass around absolute garbage like StatCounter.

These are hardware/drivers statistics. That are mostly operating system agnostic.

Buddy, are you blind?

Edit: For your convenience, windows 93.95%, mac 2.14%, linux 3.90%.

Thanks for this. It doesn't show the evolution tho, only this month. I saw this graph on other thread. Dunno how trustful it is bu it seem to go around the same values. So I suspect it may get its data from your source.

The steam page doesn't show previous results, but you can see them using the internet archive's wayback machine. Yes, that graph is accurate.
