LINUX MARKET SHARE REACHES NEW PEAK: JULY 2024 REPORT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Linux has achieved a 4.45% market share for desktop operating systems worldwide. Its market share has been slowly but steadily growing over the past year. Several factors, such as a growing sentiment that Microsoft's Windows is faltering, the impending end-of-life for Windows 10 in October 2025, the launch of the Steam Deck, and improvements to the user experience have contributed to Linux's increasing popularity. With current trends, Linux may reach a 5% market share by the end of the year.
