    You can set it to go back to 2009. Apparently it hit 3% in Q3 2023. And apparently Windows has steadily been trending downward from 95% to 73% since 2009, which is wild to me. I find it hard to believe that that isn’t due to other factors like increased smartphone use over desktops.

      There’s separate market shares for mobile devices, and combined as well.

      Choosing all platforms we currently get:
      Linux - 1.54%
      Unknown - 2.42%
      OS X - 5.87%
      iOS - 17.82%
      Windows - 27.39%
      Android - 43.74%

        I understand that, but if people stop using desktops entirely (because they already have a phone in their pocket), the remaining users might be more likely to be on macOS or Linux for a specific reason.

        I don’t see the methodology on that page so it’s hard to say for sure.

          Only if you completely disregard the userland and impound the definition of Linux to the kernel base
