Erik L. Midtsveen🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Meanwhile, desktop Linux has a 20% market share here in Norway! 🇳🇴
David Bramian@midtsveen what do you mean "market share"? Are people paying for desktop Linux?
Laurens 🐐@davbram @midtsveen A market share is not always an indication of sales. It's also an indication of market competitiveness, i.e. how well a product is doing compared with other products of the same category.
Linux distributions are free but still compete with other computer operating systems.
tuxflo@davbram @midtsveen of course they do! (by investing their valuable time in spending how to configure and rice it)

You mean time spent putting ecchi wallpaper on a compiz cube counts as payment in-kind? I like the way you think. Definitely going to have some new deduction items this year

Sar@davbram It refers to general usage. Statcounter pulls stats from web visits globally AFAIK.
@Sar Their FAQ says they use browser fingerprinting stats scraped from billions of Web sites. I wouldn't consider this accurate either.
For example, I've been a Linux desktop user for over 20 years but Statcounter would tally me as a Windows user because that's what my browser's user-agent says. I don't think it's uncommon for Linux users to spoof their user-agent header because there a lot of sites that block "unsupported" browsers.
