Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average. In the United States alone, the market share for Linux is nearly 12% now for the whole month and Cloudflare stats suggest peaks of up to 25% (!) Linux desktop usage on certain days and times.

The trendline suggests this is just the start. When will companies realize they cannot ignore Linux anymore?

Doesn't the office suite still have web versions available? I had to use Windows & Office a few years back. I strongly disliked the weird animated cursor and didn't bother to dive into the settings, so I switched to the web version. It should apparently have been "worse than the app", but it didn't have the horrible cursor and it worked on Linux with Firefox as well.
