Is Linux desktop marketshare increasing or is desktop marketshare decreasing as a whole, though?

If you’re sitting on a Windows 10 machine that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, or if you’re tired of Apple’s walled garden, now’s the time to explore PureOS, a FSF endorsed GNU/Linux distribution.

God damn it. This is how you scare people away from Linux.

Linux market share is increasing even in the charts with all OSes, desktop and mobile.
