Summary created with AI assistance · Source: techspot.com
  • Linux achieved a significant milestone by capturing 5.03% of the US desktop operating system market in June 2025.

  • Windows remains the market leader with 63.2%, but its share has declined nearly 13 points over the past decade.

  • Growth in Linux adoption is driven by dissatisfaction with Windows, privacy concerns, and the popularity of Linux-based devices like the Steam Deck.
