Wild isn’t it

Edit:

Ok I misread the data but I am leaving this post. I compared Linux desktop share to Firefox all platform share

    Statcounter does not say that. This post is straight up misinformation.

    • Firefox (all platforms): 2.74%

    • Linux (all platforms): 1.61%

    • Firefox (desktop): 6.64%

    • Linux (desktop): 4.45%

    Firefox has 50-70% more users than Linux.

      Is OP adding the Android share to Linux? That would certainly do it.

      • Android (all platforms): 45.19%

      Only makes sense if you know their definition of ‘Linux’ though.

        True, that could be it.

        Although then the “Wild isn’t it” statement really isn’t wild at all - Android is by far and away the most popular OS, not far off double Windows. Of course if you lump that in with Linux, Linux would be more popular than Firefox.

    I’d believe it. I’ve had hundreds of Linux servers that don’t have any desktop Gui at all deployed on them.

    Linux desktop users make up an absolutely tiny fraction of Linux installs.
