🐧Linux keeps growing

Linux has reached a 5.03% market share on desktop and laptop computers in the United States.

This marks a milestone, reflecting accelerated growth: from 1% to 2% in 8 years (up to April 2021), from 2% to 3% in 2 years and 2 months (up to June 2023), from 3% to 4% in 7 months (February 2024), and from 4% to 5% in 1 year and 2 months (July 2025). Adding ChromeOS (2.71%), which is based on Linux, the combined share reaches 7.74% in the US.

Worldwide, Linux holds between 4% and 4.3% of desktop share, macOS (14-16%) and Windows (71-73%), but it dominates servers and supercomputers with over 96%.

All this while Windows loses 13 points of dominance share in 10 years.

Consoles like the Steam Deck with SteamOS and similar have also facilitated this.

Looks like an SEO-optimized article created by an LLM. 

Not important but:

- macOS does not use the Linux kernel, but a proprietary one based on BSD + Mach
- The macOS base system does not use Linux userland tools, but is derived from FreeBSD (this is why many commands have slightly different behavior and options compared to Linux).

my bad should do a better review of the article, i have choose the first one well formatted

anyway, open source and unix like systems are the base of everything valuable in software world
