Been my daily driver since 2007. And while I want to see this as a win, a part of me wonders if it’s in part due to there just being fewer “desktop” users these days. So many people just use phones or tablets for everything, and Linux users tend to be the “power users” who are less likely to give up their PCs. Not saying there hasn’t been some real growth lately, but just wondering how much of the growth is due to being a larger piece of a smaller pie.
Still impressive as Linux would be out competing Apple and Windows for market share. Whether that’s new users or better retention while others decline it’s a good thing.
