sunrat Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 There seems to be extraordinary growth reported for July to August, but it's from a reliable source. I thought I'd noticed a surge of new users at forums.debian.net but who knows? https://linux.slashdot.org/story/17/09/01/1639250/linux-desktop-market-share-crosses-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 But are they counting all devices that run the Linux kernel? The reason I ask is because Chromebooks are becoming quite popular due to price and usability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 They mentioned this in the latest episode of Linux Action News. Apparently both sites they referenced counted ChromeOS separately, which only has about 0.something % market share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually: StatCounter’s desktop OS report for February 2017 puts Chrome OS usage at 3.36% versus 1.47% for Linux. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/chrome-os-marketshare-vs-linux-usa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
