According to the USA Gov, Linux usage is at 5.8%

In addition to Pornhub and Steam, the USA government tracks platform usage as well. Plotted here and updated monthly:

Useful to have one more platform to check Linux’s growth.

Switched fully to Linux 3 years ago after close to 25 years of windows. Just saying. Never going back. Ever. For nothing. Worst case scenario I can run a windows VM if I need something very specific, that's it. So far for 3 years I could run anything and everything I want. The things I can't as kernel level anti cheat games... Fuck em. More free time for more producting shit and better games.
