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.

      If you mean which Linux distribution I’d recommend for a gaming setup, I’d recommend Ubuntu. Many believe it to be the best for gaming on Linux. It also has a large community, so finding support (should you need it) won’t be a problem.
