With another of his graphs derived from StatCounter data, blogger and Linux advocate Robert Pogson reports
It was only a few years ago that the sycophants of M$ were trumpeting that */Linux was struggling to reach ~1% share of the desktop anywhere. Many of those were in USA.
Well, the chickens have come home to roost in The Year Of The Linux Desktop. */Linux has ~5% share. Are we there yet? Nope. FLOSS is still going places and growing stronger every year. Classical GNU/Linux grew rapidly until mid-year when Android/Unknown and Chrome OS took up slack. It's all good.
I would have said "He who laughs last laughs best" but, hey, it's his blog.
...and remembering how Chromebooks dominated the sales figures last Christmas, I can't wait to see how the SteamBox sales go this Christmas.

Yes, I know what those are, and even recall that you invoke them with SHELL=xxxxx in config.sys.
But I fail to see your point? I can replace any arbitrary file in a linux install too with one of my own creation.
Does that mean the original file wasn't part of the operating system?
If that's your argument, well... no... that would be too stupid to be your argument... so what is your argument exactly?
