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.

  Wow, 3%? IoT devices are selling like hotcakes! I need to invest in Intel!

  Not Intel.

  Better make that an investment in Arm Holdings or MIPS Technologies. Just the Raspberry Pi alone sold 10 million units [walesonline.co.uk] as of last year. It, many SBCs, and all your billions of smartphones and tablets are Arm-based. MIPS is more in appliances but is seeing gains in Russia and China. Intel is still around, but dependent on M$ and many want both to go away. Certainly if we get rid of M$ any time soon, it will take Intel with it.
