Recent: Moving From Ubuntu to Another GNU/Linux Distro Would Harm Microsoft (or Its Efforts to Control the Competition)

Top of this list used to be particular versions of Ubuntu

Summary: GNU/Linux "market share" in Steam grew by a quarter this past year, boosted by SteamOS perhaps, but watch the trends in distributions; even the Ubuntu-based distros aren't near the top (and SteamOS moved from Debian to Arch, so expect Ubuntu to stagnate further)
