Linux Hits New Desktop Market Share High
Linux continues to gain ground in the desktop market space, hitting 4.45% in July 2024 as the open-source OS continues to grow in popularity.
Linux has been making some impressive gains on the desktop in the last year, crossing 3% share for the first time ever in July 2023. After taking almost 32 years to reach that milestone, Linux quickly topped 4% eight months later in March 2024.
According to Statcounter, Linux reached 4.45% desktop share in July 2024, an impressive gain over a mere four months.
There are likely a number of factors driving Linux adoption, including an increasing wariness of Big Tech among consumers and regulators alike, as well as Windows 11’s general unpopularity.
Microsoft’s increasingly aggressive tactics—including full-screen popups and ads—that it is using to push OneDrive, Edge, and other products, has led even long-time users to look for other options. The company’s wholesale effort to adopt AI, and push it onto customers has also disenfranchised some users.
