From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Up to 2.7% in May 2025 from 1.5% in May 2023. Almost x2 in 2 years is very impressive.

To be fair the numbers are from June 1st, and are for the month of May. So a tad newer than you graph that state March as the latest.

Nah it just doesnt show the x axis label. The last spike is the May number. It has a data point for each month, but that many labels wouldnt fit.
