We reached 5.1% market share!

We need to grow that 0.5%!

The most compelling evidence I've ever seen for the elusive "year of the Linux Desktop".

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Indeed.

Also great evidence that Windows is not dying, no matter what the Linux fanboys claim.

The thing is Linux doesn't need to topple Windows. Linux just needs a big enough market share for companies to go "maybe we should also offer official support for Linux?"

Oh god, don't say that. You're going to summon them. I'm getting out of here...

Yeah, that part is sad.

Although... at risk of being in the picture, we don't know the mobile vs. desktop change. It could be that Windows is just dying more slowly than Mac OS (and ChromeOS, probably because schools block porn).

Thanks!

Interesting, so phone browsing actually went down. I now have no idea why Windows is doing so well. Doesn't everyone hate the new release?

Windows' growth is double the absolute percentage of Linux's total even with its growth.

It's essentially the year of "Not Apple."
