Linux Market Share Surges to 5%

Although Windows remains the leading operating system, holding 63.2 percent market share, its market share has declined by 13 percent since ten years before June 2025 due to dissatisfaction with Microsoft. Meanwhile, Linux market share had persisted around 1 to 2 percent up until now, suddenly reaching 5 percent. Linux users enjoy the versatile and personalized feel of Linux, with Linux distros greatly improving usability over the past few years. Chrome OS is built on Linux; combined, their total market share reaches 7.74 percent.
