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.

love to see windows shrinking
Except it also went up? Looks like only apple dropped.
I remember a time when apple market share was low single digits - just shocked to see 20%
Windows has been getting continuously worse so it's not surprising that those with the income available are continuously willing to spend more to get out of it.
100% agreed
Based on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I'm sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.
