Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
arstechnica.com
Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there’s been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of desktops globally.

    They are succeeding!

    I’ve used Linux for years, certainly for all servers, but preferred the Windows desktop environment until last year.

    So many shitty, slow updates. Hassle me to give MS my data or switch to Edge half the times I boot up…

    I have fully embraced Gnome Shell and love my Debian setup. Feels great to be in control again!

    Also, baseline CPU load is way lower and it’s much more rare to have my fans throttle up.
