According to Net Applications' Netmarketshare, the Linux market share on the desktop as judged by browser interactions may now be above 3%.

The company is reporting a 3.37% Linux marketshare for August 2017, a rise from 2.53% a month prior and the first time they have reported the Linux desktop marketshare above 3%.

They report Windows meanwhile at 90.7%, macOS at 5.94%, and the other operating systems statistically at zero. Their monthly report can be found here.

    Me. Apparently I'm running Mozilla on Windows NT 10.
    In reality I'm currently running Mageia linux. And yes, it's because some .gov.au sites refuse to even serve content to linux.

    Can you sue those fuckers? I mean there probably is some anti-discrimination law or some such.

      Well I suppose you could consider the emotional attachment some people tie to their browser of choice as being a religion, so I guess you could argue they are discriminating on religious belief. Seems like a stretch, though. There did seem to be a jihad against IE for years, though....
