And firefox has 3%. Its more unpopular to use firefox rather than linux lol
The 3% is overall (including mobile). On the dekstop Firefox is at ~9%: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worldwide
This blows my mind. I still daily drive Firefox on all 3 of my computers and my phone. I don't get the hate, and I feel it's the right thing to support in this monopoly market where the biggest browser is owned by an ad company.
You have to understand, this late into the slow motion apocalypse the writers were starting to get eaten by hellhounds and so there is a lot of rushed writing/plot arcs that just doesn’t much sense when you look too closely because it isn’t like the lizard people were going to reduce the apocalypse guild writers quota just because some of them (most of them) had been eaten by hellhounds, the lizard people SENT the hellhounds so that would have just made the lizard people look incompetent.
I mean, it’s the same old enshittification thing and all you know the story.
On desktop it is 7%. On desktop in Europe it is 10%. On desktop in Finland it is 15%.
It's interesting that Asia is boosting Linux numbers when the Valve hardware survey showed the opposite. The numbers were recently updated to include China and it caused every OS to lose ground to Win10.
China windows is probably somehow more than 100 percent pirated and comes with additional spying and maybe crypto mining in the background.
I would love it if Valve secretly checked if Windows was genuine and put it in their stats.
There is a MAS solution for windows that activates it on GitHub. I had to use it when the key I purchased a decade ago didn't work when I upgraded my hardware. I didn't want to pay a second time for an OS that was going to push Cortana, OneDrive, and ads at me.
