The growth rate is actually pretty impressive!

    you're looking at this

    It took eight years to go from 1% to 2% (by April 2021), then just 2.2 years to reach 3% (June 2023), and a mere 0.7 years to hit 4% (February 2024). Now, here we are, at over 5% in the USA

    and yea, it's a good sign. but it actually took thirty-one years to get here.

    Been my daily driver since 2007. And while I want to see this as a win, a part of me wonders if it's in part due to there just being fewer "desktop" users these days. So many people just use phones or tablets for everything, and Linux users tend to be the "power users" who are less likely to give up their PCs. Not saying there hasn't been some real growth lately, but just wondering how much of the growth is due to being a larger piece of a smaller pie.
