Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn’t know we already passed 4%.

    I’ve been a Mac user since the late 80s and the news of its dominance has escaped me.

      ~15-20% is nothing to sneeze at, but hardly dominance

      I’m interpreting that as clickbait - just something they added to the title to drive traffic.

      Maybe dominant in the USA? People venerate Malus products there.

      But any tech company provides Macs now, not Linux hardware. They even boast about it in their job ads and use it as bait.
