Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
arstechnica.com
Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there’s been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of desktops globally.

      Decent performance on old hardware

      I don’t know what you call old. Also not once you get on the Web.

      looks pretty(variable),

      Yessir, and for me that could be a sufficient reason alone. Sad that conkeror is no more usable for a browser.
