Linux desktop market share has hit over 10% in North America | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread claims Linux desktop usage in North America has passed 10%.

Commenters debated whether the data is trustworthy and whether the growth reflects real users, bots, school devices, or Chromebooks.

If accurate, the figure would suggest a meaningful shift in desktop OS adoption and a challenge to Windows and macOS dominance.

It may also reflect a broader move away from traditional PCs as computing shifts toward mobile and cloud services.
