Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

I highly doubt 12% of the pc market got a new laptop for Christmas. But maybe a lot of corporations got new pc's for the 2026 budget to phase out windows 10? I still I find a 12% jump huge, especially in the current RAM shortage climate.

    Doesn't seem that crazy. I usually got about 4-8 years out of my laptops. So a little over 10% turn over makes sense to me statistically.
