Someone should add major Windows releases on the X axis. There’s gotta be some correlation.
Thanks! It does indeed look like people try out Linux before the new Windows release. Then it returns to the slower adoption trend.
It’s also interesting because you can also see a steeper line corresponding on the “worse” windows versions (8, 11) while it’s relatively stagnant during windows 10

Actually windows market share is growing as well. It’s MacOS that’s dropping
That spike in 2021 looks to be around the win11 release date, although it pretty much dropped the same amount after. Does look to be a sharper trend in adoption since then, though (with all of the caveats about what the data is measuring of course).
