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.
It’s not that small. One more percent and Linux Party gets into federal parlament.
Add in ChromeOS, which is essentially Linux with a proprietary Desktop Environment installed and it’s already there.
