This is a silly take. People are less likely to say no on the phone than they are to click no on a survey opt-in popup. And I am not even sure that Steam does a pop-up, users may have to go find the option to join the survey.
So there absolutely is a sampling bias. How significant it is and how/if Valve attempt to control for it doesn’t seem to be public information but it is definitely there.
My first reaction to reading that line was that Linux numbers are likely inflated by sampling bias.

An actual open phone system similar to the openness and hardware support of desktop Linux is a better next step than Valve worship.
Nah, in this case the minimum viable product must have all the basic hardware features supported.
If the project can’t achieve that then it’s no better than the other hobbiest only Linux phones already available.

I don’t care if you host diseases. I absolutely do care about you spreading them.
I used to run Mumble for my Battlefield crew (probably Bad Company 2 I think) on a Nokia n810.
Your laptop will definitely handle it.
Removed by the conservative government because they needed revenue to pay for their tax cuts for millionaires.
You understand that they’re not planning on cutting off people who already smoke, right?
You did actually read something and didn’t just kneecirclejerk your response?
Kia doing static controls for entertainment and HVAC is a big part of why I bought one.
This must be the most 1984 thing I’ve read all week.
The US is completely free to reduce their spending to match the rest of NATO but does not.
You can just say “yes”
Did you learn that in The Book of Strange New Things?
Heh
