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.

At least we have a choice between app stores, but I miss the ability to just go to the store and buy a disk that will work 10 years from now without modern issues of having to patch it because the server is down and won't authenticate my download or install. I guess there are those that would call that insecure, but the less it talks, the more secure it actually is, I'd think...
