Clickbaity title on the original article, but I think this is the most important point to consider from it:

After getting to 1% in approximately 2011, it took about a decade to double that to 2%. The jump from 2% to 3% took just over two years, and 3% to 4% took less than a year.

Get the picture? The Linux desktop is growing, and it's growing fast.

I'm not trying to say anything. I said it. Many businesses use dedicated software (most of which is also available on Linux) but many many more are just logging into some cloud database to access information. Yes. Absolutely. 1000%. And it's hilarious that you think otherwise.

    Sure dude. The above is why desktop Linux already dominates the businesses world. Everything is cloud based, which is why Linux desktop share is at 99% across all businesses, and not 6% across portable gaming consoles and nerd's home PCs.

    It's not worth arguing with you when you're making ridiculous assumptions and stating clear hyperbole.
