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.

To note, this is the share of Linux computers visiting US goverment's web sites. In India, for example, the share is already higher.

Not meaning to be (too) snide by posting this here, but maybe now Proton could give Linux users a little more love and attention?

It's not a typo. Linux's desktop share is growing, according to the US government's records.
