    How are you able to argue towards these numbers?

    According to one measurement by one agency, Linux reached 3.07 p.c market share of global desktop working techniques in June 2023. It’s a notable first for the greater than 30-year-old working system, although different numbers in Statcounter’s chart open it up to many extra interpretations. It’s both the 12 months of the Linux desktop or a notable asterisk—your name.

    As Statcounter explains, its numbers come from monitoring code put in on greater than 1.5 million web sites throughout the globe, capturing roughly 5 billion web page views per thirty days. Statcounter says it doesn’t collate, weigh, or in any other case modify its knowledge other than correcting for bots and Google Chrome’s prerendering. Laptops are included in “desktop” as a result of there isn’t any simple means to separate them. And they’re topic to revision for up to 45 days after publication.

    Five years in the past, Linux made up 1.69 p.c of Statcounter’s June numbers. In the 12 months between June 2022 and 2023, Linux unsteadily crept up from 2.42 to 3.07 p.c, leaping previous 3 p.c for the primary time between May and June. If you regard Chrome OS as a Linux system, you could add that 4.13 p.c and get to 7.2 p.c.

    Looking on the different numbers and places from the 12 months main up to June 2023, nevertheless, and there is a lot occurring. Windows drops from 76.33 p.c to 68.23 p.c one 12 months later, recovering a bit from a heavy winter/spring hunch that took it down to 62.06 p.c. Is Microsoft’s suspension of gross sales in Russia, beginning March 2022, an element? What else would clarify a greater than 14 p.c drop in a single 12 months?

    That one thing else could be “Unknown,” which ramps up progressively, then jumps and stays at 13 p.c, simply as Windows sees its hunch. Tom’s Hardware suggests “Unknown” is probably going “very new or very outdated variations of fashionable OSes,” which tracks. Linux is not gaining on the identical form of quirky curve, however extra progressively.

    Also rising progressively, however confidently, was MacOS, which Statcounter sees as rising from 14.64 p.c in June 2022 to 21.32 p.c a 12 months later. Windows and Mac’s numbers in June 2022 account for 89.5 p.c of desktops, leaving the rest for Chrome, Linux, and the inconsistent “Unknown” to vie for a a lot decrease third-place podium spot.

    If you turn to a US-only view, Linux didn’t hit 3 p.c, and in reality, misplaced a bit of share, from 2.14 p.c to 1.96 p.c. MacOS is gaining extra persistently right here, from 24 to 34 p.c, and Windows dropped about the identical quantity, however from a decrease degree, to 55 p.c. “Unknown” had a much less wild trip in a US-only view however nonetheless fluttered upward within the spring, seemingly taking away from Microsoft and Linux.

    Because we could not assist ourselves, we requested GPT-4 to graph out when, assuming the same progress sample from 1991 to 2023, Linux would attain one hundred pc desktop market share. GPT-4 advised us that, assuming linear progress, “which is a major simplification and not going correct for the true world,” it could see the present 0.096 percent-per-year progress price common reaching one hundred pc within the 12 months 3033.

    It’s value noting that two different prompts resulted in solutions of “January 2121” and “2002.” The Year of the Linux Desktop is up to now; it is sooner or later; it is at 3% or 7.2% or neither; it is global or native; it is inconceivable and inevitable. It by no means stops being fascinating.
