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.
While I’m surprised it’s still usable at this point, with all the enthusiasm about things ending it, but still not as good as 7 years ago for me.
The year of the Linux desktop was 2011.
