I bet, we don’t find a single Windows 8 user who uses Steam on that system. Similar applies to Win7.

Wrong, I used Steam under Win 7 from time to time until December. For some games it doesn’t really matter and I use old machines for fun.

I used to be a Win8 user who had Steam

Not anymore since it no longer works.
I was still using Steam on Windows 7 as late as last month. Losing access to Steam was one motivation to finally upgrade my computer.

Why not switch to Linux? There is several ones which works well with steam

Because maybe they want to play games without having to check if it runs on linux?

Thanks to the Steam Deck and proton development, these days that’s pretty much limited to a few incompatible multiplayer anticheat systems.

That’s actually just what I did. New PC runs Manjaro Linux. So far all the games I’ve thrown at it work just fine.
Maybe I should have done that with the old PC, but I’m lazy and Windows 7 was working well enough.
