2025 could finally be the year of the Linux desktop as the OS attains 5% US desktop market share for the first time

Summary by Notebookcheck
The latest StatCounter numbers show Linux gaining 5.03% of the US desktop OS market share. This continues the trend of Linux gaining traction among desktop users and gamers, a likely side effect of cessation of Windows 10 support in October and Valve's gaming push with the Steam Deck alongside Linux distros becoming increasingly more user-friendly over the years.
