Linux now comprises 4% of the desktop computing market. While that may pale in comparison to Windows, it’s worth noting that Apple’s macOS held just over 3% of the desktop market at the beginning of 2009, compared to the 21% it currently holds, illustrating the potential for Linux to grow even more.

Much of Linux’s recent popularity can be attributed to a number of specific factors:

• Linux-powered devices like the Steam Deck have introduced people to the world of Linux.
• Microsoft Windows 11 is highly unpopular and does not run on a wide range of perfectly good hardware.
• Windows 11 sends a massive amount of telemetry to Microsoft and ad companies, leaving many wanting a privacy-focused alternative.
• Linux has come a long way in the last decade, rivaling Windows and macOS for ease-of-use.
• Linux has a well-earned reputation of revitalizing older hardware that can no longer run Windows efficiently.
• Most of the applications on Linux, including commercial-grade options, are free.

Despite the strides Linux has made, it can still be someone confusing to know where to begin when a business looks to make the switch.
