Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average. In the United States alone, the market share for Linux is nearly 12% now for the whole month and Cloudflare stats suggest peaks of up to 25% (!) Linux desktop usage on certain days and times.

The trendline suggests this is just the start. When will companies realize they cannot ignore Linux anymore?

Yes, good. I want to convert everyone I know to Linux. Windows just sucks (she says, typing from a Windows OS, because the software she needs for her job isn't supported on Linux ;-;)
