According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That's a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months...

so I assume it was at 1.44% in June, which means... like a 35% increase?

Just tried Steam for Mac the other day, and there is a very good reason why it's so low. Modern macs don't even let you play games made for Mac!! Since 32-bit support was dropped, you pretty much can't play any Source games like HL2 or Gmod.

I hate to say it, but the only thing that can explain this kind of sudden jump is error in data.
