It would be twice as much if people could stop arguing about who counts and who doesn't

    If Linux only makes up half the Linux market, what the heck makes up the other half? 🤔

      ChromeOS, which has another 4%. Which is also Linux but the “wrong” kind. It was the author’s tongue-in-cheek way of highlighting the fact that ChromeOS is so different for the regular Linux user that not being counted as Linux actually makes sense.

        I read the title and assumed it was a typo, made the joke, then clicked into the article to see that no, that really was what the title was saying. lol

        Deleted the comment immediately but apparently it is still there for others?

          Maybe edit first next time in, just in case?

            At this point I might as well just restore it. People are having a laugh, and that’s my main goal anyway lol

      They probably meant that GNU holds half of the Linux desktop usage, and Chrome OS the other

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
