Yeah looking at their history graph, Linux drops every February/March due to Chinese New Year. But looking at their English graph, Linux has gained users not lost users. There are more active Steam users right now (mostly in China) which causes the percentages to be lower.

I see Chinese new year's resolutions are quite opposite of western. Screw workouts, more gaming!
