I’m sorry, how is it subjective? It’s not an opinion, - those are the (objective) stats. 
Out of 2.33% of Steam users, we’re 0.06% of that total.
Subjective would be me saying, every single Linux user has Steam installed (which they don’t) - but my subjective opinion is that it’s far more representative than Distrowatch.
well, true, i guess subjective wasn’t the right word to use, my apologies 
That’s a shame, however:
But the user reviews are, it’s always fun to read something about my favourite distributions and how other people see them.
I used it and was very satisfied with it, but come on ↩︎
Steam conducts a monthly survey to collect data about what kinds of computer hardware and software our customers are using. Participation in the survey is optional, and anonymous.
So what those stats from Steam says, is that, of the total number of those who participated optionally in Steam’s survey, 0.06 % use EOS? And the total for Linux being 2.33%?
I don’t understand how representative that is. Is that even representative for all who use Steam? Let alone for all the Linux desktop users.
I don’t see myself represented by these stats for nothing. I guess it says something but to me it sounds more close to nothing 
Shed light, please shed light, somebody!
Here are just the Linux numbers, and I think these are just for March, not all-time or even Year-to-Date, so just one months worth. So yeah, when WIndows takes up over 96% of the number of users for the month, that doesn’t leave a lot of room for anyone else 
I really wonder how many users would swift to linux this year when windows 10 reaches EOL.
If reddit questions are accurate, quite a few are switching/planning on switching.
No matter the ranking, I have tried all the Linux distros The winner is endevour os with budgie .the best of the best
It guess a good portion of Win10 users… won’t even bother and continue using it, despite the EOL.
I can’t take that serious 
It’s insanely, anti-intuitively crazy and wrong, also uncanny, how MXLinux is top #2 for years…
Scripts, gotta be scripts.
I installed CachyOS on my second computer as a test and, from a gamer’s perspective, I can understand its popularity and the ranking on Distrowatch. But in my opinion, there are both advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages of Cachy:
– I can select the gaming package during installation, and Wine, Lutris, and Heroic are installed completely, along with all the necessary libraries. Install and get started right away… With EOS I have to install additional libraries.
– During installation I can select additional desktop environments for immediate installation in addition to the default one.
– CachyOS runs slightly smoother on my older hardware (subjective impression).
Disadvantage of Cachy:
– I personally find the package selection on EOS much better. Installing via the console is ideal for me, and the package selection on Arch and AUR is much larger than on other distros, including CachyOS.
Conclusion for me:
EOS will remain on my main computer; it runs excellently and has so far been completely without any problems with my i5-11400 and GTX 1070.
On my second computer (I5-4460 and GTX750Ti), I’ll take a closer look at CachyOS or other distros out of interest; it’s just a test computer…
And at this point, I’d like to thank the EOS team, you’re doing an excellent job.

Since they’re both Arch-based and the AUR is the same on both, I don’t see any way you can even possibly say the package selections differs at all. Note, I haven’t truly perused the private repositories of either, but I say that’s mostly irrelevant. Essentially they are the same. The only difference is package selection/configuration upon installation and possibly (if you consider that) the different optimization levels that CachyOS offers.
