Apparently Linux have 20% market share in Norway. That is… I don’t really believe it, but really cool if true.

This aligns with statcounter data here: gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/…/worldwide/#m…
Windows market share on desktop has been slowly but steadily declining. From 95+% in 2009, to almost 70% today. In the same time period Linux went up from 0.6% to 4%, which is not bad.

So this is just an apple victory or is Android to blame?

Kids mostly use mobile devices and don’t even know what a folder is, so both.

And that’s honestly why this story isn’t the good news it appears to be. An entire generation growing up used to (or rather, used by) locked-down devices designed for consumption is a goddamned disaster!

But if you say something like People should have basic IT knowledge you get called an elitist.

Can’t use a computer when you’re tired and wanna lay in bed, or just browse memes on transit to work, or have a GPS in your pocket, or a camera in your pocket, or a portable communication device… etc

Android is not on this plot, it’s desktop only.
The 2nd place is interestingly not Apple, but Unknown.

Three points four percentage points. Not great. Not terrible.

It sounds much better when you say 1 in 167 people then vs 1 in 25 people today.

It was unthinkable 10 years ago. I call it a win.

It can also be noted that the trend over time for the “unknown” category (which stands for 8 % today) follows the same trend as Linux. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that Linux is over-represented in the “unknown” category, and may actually be closer to 5-7 %.
