That’s a huge increase.
i think its been bouncing around there 3% or so for a while though
No, it was close to reaching 3%. Went to 2.91, now it’s beyond that landmark and even gained .08% extra.
It’s excellent news because companies are less likely to ignore the market share of Linux.
well that sounds like good news
It’ll be interesting to see if that number climbs once Windows 10 reaches EOL.
A real “tortoise vs hare” situation it seems.
Pace of adoption also seems to be accelerating , from 2009 to about 2016 it went from 0.5 to 1,5 (+ 1 percent), from 2016 to 2023 it went from 1.5 to 3 (+1.5 percent), the adoption also seems to be at least doubling about every decade (which might indicate a “word to mouth” growth pattern.
Steam and CodeWeavers drive this adoption at fast pace with proton and vulkan…
Other are some developer that switch fully from WSL2 to Linux (like me).
Other are finding refuge… welp…
Same here. WSL1 has shown me the ecosystem of Linux, so I decided to switch from Windows to Linux completely.
Well, but now WSL2 with GUI seems threaten a little about Linux DE in the end :/
WSL number is quite high with dev, and sometimes I also think WSL2 is convenient because I don’t need to have desktop linux to work with.
Well, if you can live with Windows’ UX.
Yeah. Sadly I can’t. But I also can’t live with… Gnome bar… I need native xfce with no CSD. But since gtk4 it’s harder 😔
Something to keep in mind with these graphics are that the scales are hugely different and more notably that the numbers do not add to 100%. Also the percent vs percentage point thing mentioned by @VonReposti@feddit.dk.
Wtf is “unknown” that everybody used for 2 months then dropped?!?!
It was probably people not sharing user agnets.
India’s Linux market share is 13.8%. TF? When I want to talk about it to anyone, they ask wtf is Linux?
Brother they are 1.7B of those little dudes, your sample is negligible
In personal experience there has been a big rise of Linux on the server and more people being forced to get used to it. Docker is pushing this along even more now. We are seeing the continued rise in osx and improvements in the Linux desktop. Moving away from windows is becoming more acceptable now, even in corporations. This will continue!
This is it, lads! We are in the Year of The Linux Desktop ™ x3!
