Linux has a huge market share in servers. Most phones use a derivative of Linux. A lot of embedded systems run Linux. The desktop PC is basically the only niche where Linux doesn't dominate.

Let’s not forget, this is in the slowly vanishing desktop market. Linux is already in also in every Android phone and powers most of the web too. We are all dependent on Linux every day even if it’s not on the desktop.
The way Linux is crippled in Android is a perversion of how free software should be used. Your Android phone runs Linux, wow, is your freedom respected?
Thanks to this perversion, Linux also powers killing drones, weapons of mass distruction, and all the evil things this world has to offer.
Doing my part.
me too
I've been hearing "This is the year of Linux on desktop" since at least 2002...
As someone who has FINALLY made the switch to contribute to that (all it took was several whole days of the summer devoted to constructing a Void environment from scratch to host VMs with GPU sharing), I gotta say the SteamDeck must be putting up gooood numbers, cause there's no way enough people full-time switched.
From my understanding, statcounter gets this data from web analytics. Does this mean the data is more or less legit? I don't know if Steam Deck users browse internet much, though I doubt this device's market share is large enough to affect the statistics.
We did it Feddies!
Is there something in particular that makes 3% big?
It's a very big market. For example, Firefox has around the same market share in browsers.
lol
Yay, 970 to go. WHOOOOOO!
