    I’m not sure there are more Steam OS installs than RHEL/SUSE/Ubuntu installs.

    Of course not, if you phrase it like that. According to your phrasing non-desktop container setups also count but they don’t.

    Distributions like Ubuntu also ship Plasma. The preconfigured disk image is called Kubuntu but that’s still Ubuntu and counts as that in Steam’s surveys which I consider the most reliable source of what actual GUI Linux users actually use.

      Couple things there are many computer users that don’t play games like for example me.

      Enterprise Linux is not the same as a container and Gnome is flagship for all three of those enterprise flavors.

        And in which credible statistic are those?

        Enterprise Linux is not the same as a container

        Of course not but you didn’t specifically say desktop-only Ubuntu/… installs and Ubuntu is still very popular in containers that never see any desktop. Ubuntu also ships Plasma, flagship DE or not.
