Linux Market Share Reaches New Peak: July 2024 Report

The Linux operating system has reached a notable milestone in desktop market share, according to the latest data from StatCounter. As of July 2024, Linux has achieved a 4.45% market share for desktop operating systems worldwide.

While this percentage might seem small to those unfamiliar with the operating system landscape, it represents a significant milestone for Linux and its dedicated community. What makes this achievement even more thrilling is the upward trajectory of Linux’s adoption rate.

…

According to the statistics from the past ten years, It took eight years for Linux to go from a 1% to 2% market share (April 2021), 2.2 years to climb from 2% to 3% (June 2023), and a mere 0.7 years to reach 4% from 3% (February 2024). This exponential growth pattern suggests that 2024 might be the year Linux reaches a 5% market share.

Are we actually converting people or is the desktop platform just less popular for other OSs in favor of phones etc?

I hate to say it but having a full desktop is becoming more and more of an enthusiast setup.

Even laptops are becoming somewhat niche as people more just use their phone for all web browsing.

That’s already been happening for the last 15+ years, but Linux growth is primarily in the last 3. People are definitely moving to mobile, but the ones on desktop seem to be preferring Linux more than they did even 5-10 years ago (Note that laptops are included in “desktop” here).
