Do my eyes deceive me? Apparently not. According to Statcounter, the Linux share on the desktop has actually now passed 3% for the first time.

      Those are people who know how to evade data collection. We count those as ours.

        Comments on the website claim it might be windows users using edge’s protection. It also mirrors a dip in windows users historically

      Faceit oof, need full access to your pc, refuse to let you use features of your pc and you have to strangle them during a gdpr request to make them finally hand over data. Shame how they fell, but they have that market share advantage.

      Statcounter bases their data on web traffic. If you’re browsing the web on your Steam Deck, I think that should count.

        Which tbh if someone’s using the deck for browsing, they’re treating it like a portable pc anyways

      Steam boxes aren’t really a thing. The Steam Deck is not really used as a desktop PC a lot. So, no.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
