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.

    I’m not much of a gamer but I’m tempted to run a couple games just to get included in the %. I wonder where they get the data from.

      As far as I understand, StatCounter gets data from people browsing the internet.
      They are probably partnered with a lot of sites in order to get all the useragent data of their visitors or something, idk. They probably have their method described somewhere.
      This is not Steam, where stats are gathered from random monthly surveys.

    I have a perfectly capable (of what is required of it i.e Youtube/Netflix) laptop that will not support Windows 11, so when Win10 runs out of support, I’m planning on running some distro of Linux.
