For every person switching from Windows to Linux, how many people got a new Chromebook or a Mac, or just do everything on their phones or a tablet?
I have a Linux machine myself, and I love having it, but I don't think the user base is growing particularly quickly as a percentage of PC OS installations.
It's but growing quickly (well, SteamDeck is), but it's growing consistently. We'l recently passed an important milestone where people are being charged for no additional features in their commercial operating systems.
That's why the commercial OS vendors are so keen to add AI. They know they need a new differentiator, because the free options just work.
