Isn’t Bazzite built on Fedora Silverblue

Kinda.

installs the Steam Flatpak?

Actually no. Bazzite installs Steam from the RPM Fusion repo.

As for an attempt to shed light on why Fedora is absent from Steam's numbers, see this comment. Finally, perhaps this is worth looking into to see how big Fedora's gaming community is compared to the rest of its users.

Right, Steam is baked into Bazzite, not installed on top. I stand corrected.

The first set of numbers you link match my intuitions about what's happening to the Steam data. The second seems... less reliable, given the methodology, and don't say much about Fedora gamers in particular. The overall takeaways about the size of Fedora desktop do make sense to me, though.

To complete the cryptic "kinda" answer, because you made me look it up, their Gnome variation is built from Silverblue and they have a KDE variant built from Kinoite. Fedora Atomic either way, for our purposes here.
