Linux Desktop Market share reaches 3.08%
This graph shows the market share of desktop operating systems worldwide based on over 5 billion monthly page views.
That's a huge increase.
i think its been bouncing around there 3% or so for a while though
No, it was close to reaching 3%. Went to 2.91, now it's beyond that landmark and even gained .08% extra.
It's excellent news because companies are less likely to ignore the market share of Linux.
well that sounds like good news
Year of the Linux desktop, is it?
And ChromeOS is even more popular.
It'll be interesting to see if that number climbs once Windows 10 reaches EOL.
Win 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC will be my last Windows. I'm fairly sure Linux will be significantly greater in 2032, so I can avoid this spyware trash. Unfortunately my area of expertise is C#/.NET, so I'm stuck with this trash at work when I will be a working citizen.
Wtf is "unknown" that everybody used for 2 months then dropped?!?!
It was mostly in India, which ia quite interesting, imo.
It was probably people not sharing user agnets.
In personal experience there has been a big rise of Linux on the server and more people being forced to get used to it. Docker is pushing this along even more now. We are seeing the continued rise in osx and improvements in the Linux desktop. Moving away from windows is becoming more acceptable now, even in corporations. This will continue!
This is it, lads! We are in the Year of The Linux Desktop (tm) x3!
India's Linux market share is 13.8%. TF? When I want to talk about it to anyone, they ask wtf is Linux?
Brother they are 1.7B of those little dudes, your sample is negligible
It doesn't say how they measure it. Some browsers identify as using Windows. Many people also use multiboot with Windows. Having Windows preinstalled also doesn't mean you're using it.
A real "tortoise vs hare" situation it seems.
Pace of adoption also seems to be accelerating , from 2009 to about 2016 it went from 0.5 to 1,5 (+ 1 percent), from 2016 to 2023 it went from 1.5 to 3 (+1.5 percent), the adoption also seems to be at least doubling about every decade (which might indicate a "word to mouth" growth pattern.
