Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%
This graph shows the market share of desktop operating systems worldwide based on over 5 billion monthly page views.
It peaked at 4.05% in March. The last 2 months it went just below 4% as the Unknown category increased. For June the reverse happened, so 4.04% seems to be the real current share of Linux on Desktop as desktop clients were read properly/werent spoofed.

Fwiw, my blog's statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they're not, so I wonder how it's measured.
What's is the main topic of your blog?
Travel, nothing tech related
I think the venn diagram overlap of linux users, and users of adblockers or noscript users that block such tracking is quite large. Must impact the statistic significantly.
I use ad blocker but do not spoof user agent. If uBlpck does not block statcounter, I should be counted.
I would wager thats your audiences bias showing up. If you did that measurement in lemmy users, you would get likely 90% Linux users.
lol no you wouldn’t. I’d be shocked if Lemmy users were greater than 20% Linux.
You can tell from the neofetch screenshots of their VMs showing weird configurations like 3 cores and 6 GB RAM with 15 minutes uptime.
Weird configs aren’t always a tell, my daily driver is a desktop with a tigerlake mobile engineering sample cpu
Are you implying that the host OS in those situations is not Linux?
Yes. Probably VirtualBox.
We should do a poll, who uses Linux?
