Probably nearer 0%. These stats are from browser user agents on select sites. The chances that large amount of people are visiting these on their steam deck will likely not be very high. And there is only like 0.5% of people using the steamdeck on steam ATM.

These stats are also not very accurate. My system is reporting to be a Windows PC and I don't think I have done much to make it do that - just basic privacy settings in firefox. Not to mention that I do not think that these metrics will count for anyone with an adblocker running - which I suspect is also a higher percentage of Linux users in general.
