It's a desktop operating system
I'm fairly certain desktop computers (and PCs in general, including laptops) are a very small portion of the devices that use Linux.
I expect most Linux devices are phones and tablets (Android), followed by embedded devices (though BSD probably outweighs Linux on those), followed by servers, followed by desktop computers.
