I doubt in my city that 1 in 20 people are using desktop Linux, which means there must be higher concentrations somewhere else, maybe in some corporate fleets or university labs.
So where are the big concentrations of desktop Linux in the US? I’m not hearing more stories of big migrations happening outside of ChromeOS.
Steamdeck and other linux gaming consoles maybe?
I think that’s part of it.
So, if we consider a classroom, it's roughly 1 or 2 students using linux in each class. I don't think it's too far off from real life experience.
