Linux market share hit its highest point ever last month
Briefly

Linux's slow but steady growth in desktop market share, recently reaching 4.45%, signals a promising trend fueled by user dissatisfaction with Windows and the popularity of the Steam Deck.
The rise of Linux from 3.12% to over 4% in market share between July 2023 and July 2024 showcases a gradual but significant increase, likely from changing user needs.
The success of the Steam Deck, a handheld gaming device powered by Linux, has been a game changer, illustrating the importance of gaming in driving Linux adoption.
Anticipated to surpass 5% soon, Linux's growth can be attributed to dissatisfaction with existing operating systems and increasing accessibility of games on Linux.
