Sorry, Windows still dominates the computer OS market.
Except for computers that are small, computers that are large, computers that are very fast, computers that are resource-limited, computers most used by normal people (mobile) and computers most used by enterprises (server VMs).
But desktop computers that are used to launch MS Office or games, boy does Microsoft still dominate that market.
One other factor that also influences Linux’ market share is that a lot of people just don’t use PCs anymore and rely only on smartphones. I assume that Linux users are less likely to stop using PCs completely than Windows Users are (or rather, that people who don’t even get into PCs would have been less likely to become Linux users if they did)
So it’s not just direct conversion from Windows to Linux, but also a higher retention of users somewhat.

Linux already won. Only people who don’t use it are losing.

You had me triggered in the first sentence but I came around, haha
Also:
At this rate steam on linux will hit like 10% in a few years.
The general desktop marketshare of linux is slightly higher than the steam. Its at like 4.5% already

Exactly. People are talking about jumping ship from Windows to Linux after the recent update while regular people have moved to phones 10 years ago
I am reminded of that one time we went to lunch with one of our scrum masters and he actually said “why does linux even still exist anymore”.
I didn’t even get into all of that i just told him i switched my home pc to linux a few months ago lol
Remind me to kill myself if anyone ever gives me this as an official title
