      I think it is acceptably incorrect. Linux machines are everywhere, in a lot more things than what most are aware of. If you counted all “machines” in the virtual sense, that runs one of MacOS, Windows or Linux, I’d be surprised if there is more than 1% for MacOS and Windows combined.

        I look at your response, then again at the headline… How is it possible for someone to be able to write, but not read?

          Good question. How about you share what it is you don’t understand? “Market share” depends on some understanding. If it was “Linux machines”, there are more than 100 for every 1 of windows or macs. But fewer than one out of these 100 has a monitor, mouse and keyboard connected to them.

          Ps: feel free to fuck off, if you’re going to be rude and ignorant.

              FFS, this is quoting you:

              One in every 20 computers. Not too shabby.

              Then someone clarified.

              No, Statcounter measures usage; not machines.

              Then you derped back with

              So the headline is a lie and it’s not 5% of market share?

              Then I made the mistake of indulging.

              Go fuck off.
