The Steam Hardware & Software Survey is a pretty accurate tool, and the September results show a small increase in the number of Linux users.

The past few months have been registering a small drop in the number of Linux Steam users, but that is about to change. The increase is not all that dramatic, but the effects of the SteamOS announcement should be better represented in the next survey, for October.

The most used Linux operating system is Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit with 0.45%, followed by Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64-bit with 0.18%, and Ubuntu 13.04 32-bit with 0.12%.

Valve also listed Linux Mint 15 Olivia 64-bit, a mysterious and probably unidentified Linux 64-bit, Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 32-bit, and a generous Other category which should encompass the rest of the distributions.
