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.

I just realized... Add in every tv sold this decade, the box bought got because the smart TV sucks, and the third one you got because it was cheap. Probably blue ray players too, if you have one.

That's gotta beat PC sales several times over on its own... We truly live in an absurd world

Linux has conquered the universe literally everywhere apart from the use-case it was originally made for - home PCs.

And tbh, I'd imagine it'd be dominant there too if it weren't for anti-competitive behaviour from Microsoft.
