Microsoft Windows is the most used operating system on the desktop, reaching quotas above 90%. In other niches such as servers, mainframes or supercomputers, the domain is for GNU / Linux. Nor has Microsoft managed to dominate other sectors such as mobile devices, since Windows Phone has failed before the dominance of Apple's iOS and Google's Android.
Linux's pending issue is the desktop, which still resists, since in the rest of the niches the health of this project is very good, being practically in everything, from large powerful machines, to smart TVs, wearables, etc. Linus Torvalds has been dreaming of conquering the desktop for years, and some time ago he claimed that he could keep fighting 20 more years to achieve it. However, small positive steps have already been taken in this regard ...
Apple has also failed to dominate on the desktop, their Macs with the Mac OS X operating system represent a share close to 10% (9,57%), well above the 1,65% of Linux. But if we look at other operating systems like FreeBSD and company, the share is even worse. The interesting fact, since it had not been produced for a decade, is that Windows has lost 1,68% in less than a month and has fallen below 90%, I insist, a share that has not been seen for years.
Y this sudden crash is not due to Windows 10, since it is thanks to him that Microsoft is recovering some share. This indicates that more and more people are either updating to Windows 10 or starting with other operating systems such as Mac OS X, GNU / Linux, FreeBSD, etc. This is not great news for linuxers, not bad, just an interesting anecdote due to the number of years that it did not happen. However, there is still a lot to work and fight to raise that 1,65% ...
