Umbrella8335Linux Crosses 4% Market Share Worldwide
Every year since 1999 has been declared the year of the Linux desktop. My grandmother still does not use Linux.
Linux has already won the server and mobile. Desktop will follow.
To be clear, while Linux has won much of the mobile market - FreeBSD still has roughly a third of the market worldwide, and more than half in the US for an example.
BLASPHEMER!

Well, yeah, it has the rest of the market share. But that means, Linux hat 50% in the US and 70% worldwide.
Server was won pretty quickly as Linux became the only remaining Unix.
Mobile was won because Google picked it as a kernel, however it’s at best a pyrrhic victory because the userspace has nothing to do with other Linux.
Desktop also needs a specific event to be won, it won’t just grow up progressively for no reason.
