Hmmm. 4% is still single digits and very close to zero on the desktop if we round it down.

Still a long way to go.

Please transfer me 9% of your savings then. That's still a single digit and very close to zero if we round it down.

With the popularity of WSL2 amongst developers, the actual number of people using Linux as a daily development environment would push the statistic much higher than what is being recorded.

I mean, it's a running joke about the year of linux on the desktop, but it's been quite a while since that meant anything at all. Most casual users of computing devices have long switched to phones.

    ... which almost exclusively tend to be some bastardized Unix or Linux variant. "Year of the Linux pocket device"? ;)
