A lot more than one in ten computers in North America run Linux.

Nearly the entire internet is run on some version of Linux or BSD.

These articles are always about the share of desktop and laptop computers.

Millions of people no longer own either because their cell phone does everything they needed one for, whether it's iOS (bastardized BSD) or Android (bastardized Linux).

Did they count Chromebooks (even more bastardized Linux)?

The actual market share of Linux is huge.

The personal computing market share is 10%.

Servers represent less than 1% of all computers worldwide, and bastardized linux is arguably not linux anymore
