In our home the desktop Linux marketshare is 100% 😋
Although just under 2% on Steam isn't a lot, it seems to be growing slowly. Gaming on Linux is amazing today compared to 2005 when I switched to Linux.
I'm always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.
The problem with that story is that is doesn't make any sense. Why would Microsoft spend Millions for one city in Germany? It feels more like a story to get clicks.

With the German state of Schleswig-Holstein moving 30k PCs to linux, we might see tiny increase of that. Hopefully more states (in Germany and elsewhere) consider doing the same.

Microsoft also suddenly came in with a big suitcase of cash and built a giant HQ there.

Manjaro has more share than I thought

Can we stop pretending that Linux has a small market share? It is literally 4%. Everyone and there dog is using Linux.

4% use arch professionally?

Naw, it's closer to 0.5% but they talk about 8 times as much as everyone else.
