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.
Like for real. Ad ridden OS 11 with no support for a ton of processors that are still in use. My system I built in 2015 still runs fantastic, but my AMD 1600x processor didn’t make the cut. No loss there. As soon as OS 10 support stops it’ll just be a Linux PC.
Valve has also been a huge help with the constant push for Linux gaming and the Steam Deck.
