Once again, someone misreports the number. It’s not 6% of desktop OS market share. It’s 6% of all OS market share. There’s about 50-50 split between desktop and mobile OSes, which means the correct desktop market share of Linux, according to that site, is 12%.
Windows 35.5%
11 18.5%
10 16%
7 0.8%
2000 0.1%
8.1 < 0.1%
8 < 0.1%
iOS 29.6%
Android 15.9%
Macintosh 12.3%
Linux 5.2%
Chrome OS 1.4%
Other < 0.1%
If we exclude Android and iOS (which make for 29.6 + 15.9 = 45.5%), then the contribution of each of the others would increase (by 100/45.5 = 2.19), leading to 11.388% (5.2 * 2.19).
Windows 2000 having a larger market share than 8: you also love to see it, lol. I had some fun years where I was mostly using UNIX for school stuff and Win2k for games.

Linux being in double digits: you love to see it

thanks for the breakdown. i was going to ask if they were counting android as linux and using other shoddy methodologies, but this looks good to me
