Our dedicated page tracking the Steam Market Share has been updated with July's figures: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?module=steam_linux_share
It's a little weird, as it's reporting a -0.05% drop for Linux, even though all of last month (even on July 31st) June's data said Linux was at 0.76%, which would actually make July an increase not a decrease. So either June's data was wrong and Valve silently corrected it, which would make June and May exactly the same at 0.84%....or the changed percentage is off.
