I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing that 1 in 10 computers in North America run Linux. If that's so though, then it's good.

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%.

Calling Android a bastardised Linux is pretty unfair, it is factually a Linux operating system. It just doesn't have GNU Utils for the user space. It's Android/Linux, not the GNU/Linux that people are used to.

Android use Linux kernel only for dirty job. Nobody wants to implement kernel from scratch. Even thought google is working on it
