According to the USA Gov, Linux usage is at 5.8%
In addition to Pornhub and Steam, the USA government tracks platform usage as well. Plotted here and updated monthly:

Useful to have one more platform to check Linux’s growth.

Of the desktop presumably. Of the server and other devices market its a lot more that.

@BrightCandle i would be surprised if there were a significant amount of users visiting the usa government websites through a Linux server
sounds oddly niche :P

I mean Lynx and Browsh exist for terminal web surfing...but yeah that is niche

I want to believe that, but if it's coming from the USA Gov, it's immediately sus.

Those are three important things for it to track.

Good. Fuck Microsoft. No regrets about running Linux for the past few years.

5% support is enough for public funding from the Federal Elections Commission come next election season.

switched 4 years ago from windows to linux. Currently garbage collecting my brain of any windows remnants and happy for it. Running NixOS with an awesome development workspace

BSD does what it does, and does well at it.
what it does? nobody can tell you, but it's the best at it.

DAP is what the government is using, according to the Github post / page. And it's important and equally interesting to know what the stats on the Github page exclude to present the data: https://github.com/CodebergIsBetter/platform-share-usa-gov/blob/main/analysis/os_filter.json (I love transparency)
