ZDNET, Tuesday, March 5th, 2024
StatCounter reported that desktop Linux reached over 4% market share for the first time. I've used Linux for years. Here's why I think it's finally catching on with more people.

According to the Irish analysis site Statcounter's most recent numbers, Android had 43.74% of the market in February 2024, followed by Windows with 27.39%.
