Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
arstechnica.com
Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

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.

    How reliable is this actually? There are a millions reasons for me to fake which is and web browser in using.

    Shouldn’t this effect cause Linux use to be under reported? That is, the real percentage would be higher than 4%?

    I would pretty strongly expect significant correlation between people who spoof their user agent and Linux users.
