Is this another one of those where Steam Deck gets lumped under Arch?

What is STEAMOS considered?

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago

SteamOS is considered Steam Deck. ProtonDB separates devices into three platforms: PC, Steam Deck and ChromeOS.

Is this a reliable set of stats then?

This is PC operating systems which by ProtonDB definition excludes Steam Deck. See https://boilingsteam.com/cachy-os-keeps-spreading-and-takes-second-place-among-linux-distros/index.html for more information.

The most reliable stats would be the Steam hardware survey.
