Okay, so here’s the low-down on what seems like a never-ending saga—Windows and gamers. We’re talking about bazillions of us glued to our screens, and somehow there’s still this, like, constant shuffle in operating systems. Enter the Steam Hardware Survey, right? Not groundbreaking news, but Windows is kinda hogging the spotlight yet again—go figure.
Let’s dive right in. Windows 11—it seems to be, um, kinda like the crown jewel now. It’s sneaking up on that 60% mark, inch by inch. Yeah, you heard right, it’s clawing its way up from Windows 10 users who are making the switch. Maybe it’s out of curiosity, or maybe folks just like the fancy new paint job—who knows?
Here’s where it gets messy (and juicy) though. Windows 10, bless its heart, is holding on but mostly to the dwindling group of us who haven’t embraced 11 yet. And Microsoft’s like, “Hey, you can stick with 10 a bit longer,” so there’s that—like an awkward breakup where neither side really moves out. Now, Windows 7 is practically ancient history at this point. I mean, can’t remember the last time anyone mentioned it without a smirk.
Oh, and let’s not ignore that teensy detail about Linux. Gamers going back to Windows, you think? Maybe? I dunno. It’s like watching old flames flirt at a party—awkward, yet kinda predictable.
Anyway…right, yeah, so there’s this lingering question of, what about those who can’t switch to 11? Are they stuck in some kind of OS purgatory? Maybe they’ll eye Linux or just clutch their Win 10 until its dying breath. I’m still betting more folks will jump ship to 11 though. Stay tuned—I’m sure we’ll have another update before long.
And while we’re on tech—quick sidetrack—the beloved NVIDIA RTX 3060 got dethroned! Say what? Turns out the RTX 4060, specifically the laptop version, swooped in like a techie dark horse. I mean, picturing it now, laptops are cheaper and more popular? Makes sense, right? Probably. But it’s like seeing an underdog advance in the playoffs—you’re kind of rooting for them.
Oh, and can’t forget AMD. It’s playing the underdog card well, and who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned rivalry? Intel better watch its back because AMD’s coming up fast, fueled by creations like the Steam Deck. Cool, huh?
Anyway, in the ever-chaotic landscape of PC gaming, the vibe remains: what better time to game than now?
