I wonder if the Steam Deck has pushed Linux above Mac in terms of Steam userbase...

Steam publishes stats on this[1]. You can expand "OS Version" to see the repartitions between MacOS, Linux and Windows and their respective versions.

I was there, but didn't know that I could click on OS Version. Thanks!

I also wonder if Linux or Mac OS users are more or less likely to answer the surveys. Unless they've changed how it works, it is a pop up asking if you want to be recorded.

The answer is yes. Mac is currently at 1.43% while Linux is at 1.63% (43% of which is Steam Deck)
