Linux Desktop Usage breaks 5% of total market! (some say 6%!!)
Linux has been on a steady growth pace, and with Windows 10 dropping support later this year, some expect this growth to increase. Windows 11 is just another facelift of Windows 10, but adds increased hardware requirements, locking out older (but fully functional) systems. The good news is that Linux provides a real alternative, and removes the issues of privacy invasion, adware, and forced updates. Linux continues to evolve, and is now more user-friendly and easier to run than ever. Many of the issues running Linux from 15-20 years ago simply no longer exist. Additionally, as computing has has moved towards the web and mobile, and basic functions have open source options (e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, etc.), there is less and less reason to get locked into the Windows world. Linux also provides support for older, but totally usable systems, and its software ecosystem continues to grow. Without all the overhead that gets thrown into Windows, you can experience a faster and cleaner desktop experience. More and more hardware vendors support Linux as it has become a market force that they can no longer ignore. Plus with everything open source, the flexibility that once was the draw to the personal computer continues in the Linux world (unlike Microsoft and Apple). Not to mention that various desktop environments exist (as well as customizable ones) where your ideal user interface can be realized. Virtual Machine technology also means you can still run Windows (if actually needed) as a "Window" on your Linux system!
