Never understood why "market share" matters to so many Linux enthusiasts. It's not like Linux is a product that needs to generate revenue.

    Interesting read. I was genuinely surprised to read that ChromeOS has 4%+ desktop market share. It’s not popular at all where I am from. I’ve never ever seen one in person.

    I used to sell laptops. Most of my customers were elderly people who only needed to watch Netflix, do their banking, check emails, etc. Chromebooks flew off the shelves.

    It was the College-bound kids who insisted on a proper laptop.
