I really wanted to be right about this and checked what i follishly spat out as fact.
Linuxs market share is about 8%, i am going to add others to linux for good measure, because it probalby is in some way.

So yeah, you're right.
But that is still a tiny fraction compared to Windows with a not really trustworthy 74%

I forgot what the argument was about and at this point it doesnt really matter anymore. Linux users be talking about Windows a lot. Happens.

Even 3% is not insignificant. Especially when you consider that most computers come with Windows pre-installed. Imagine how that would change if Linux came pre-installed.

And those numbers really start to skew in favor of Linux when you exclude markets like China. IIRC when you exclude China for desktop marketshare stats Linux alone (not including "other") jumps closer to 10%.

Can we also include WSL?
