Windows took my first born, Apple took my second born and now Linux with Wayland took my wife. I’m going to the bar to celebrate.

It passed the 3% threshold in June, so if it keeps up this rate of increase it will be the 100% monopoly OS in 2096…
Maybe xeyes will have been ported to Wayland by then

short article w/ no details.
you have to figure governments, wall streets, municipals all utilizing linux servers and androids were the built-in 2-3% of this stat the last decade or more?
and the other 1-2% is regular desktop/laptop users (new)?
or does the article just mean 4% of the “market” is just new laptop/desktop users period?
confused, sober, tired vicar
And take a look at the market share in India

15? Wow. I’m not even going to ask why.
Next highest was Asia @ 5.9%.

|Unknown|6.11%|

I guess if you add at least some of “Unknown” and the fact that a huge number of websites recognize my computer as Zindoz running an outdated version of Firefox, you could safely assume the real market share might be higher (even noticeably).
I’m really happy that we got to 4% usage on the whole market!

But what is the quantity of Linux users that spoof their fingerprints ?

I’m not. I wish about 50% of current desktop Linux users would go back to their phones and niche gaming platforms with office suites, with their aPpS with rOuNdeD coRNeRs and ugly toGgLe buTtOnS that look like this: 
.
I genuinely believe that would make Linux better for the rest of us.

Many do. That’s the problem with having a large user base.

That doesn’t answer my question. Your reply does nothing but indirectly state you dislike something simply because it is popular.
