Here are the stats nowadays. Just to make Steve Jobs roll in his grave, once again! 😂

Those are weird stats lumping in phone OSes with desktop/notebook OSes.

while excluding other types of computer like embedded devices, servers and whatnot

If you include servers and embedded devices Linux is gonna go brrrr

And if you count Android and ChromeOS as android Linux, which I guess they are (though bastardised somewhat), it's an absolute bloodbath.

I think you meant "if you count Android and ChromeOS as Linux"

Ooof you're right, thanks. These nightshifts I'm working have my brain in a mess! Corrected

Since we are doing a big mix of everything why not throw there Minix that resides on all Intel chips?

There's also the fact that there's no source for the chart. Why is there an unknown category there? Why is it different from other in this context?

I'd guess unknown means whatever was used to record this information couldn't determine the os (so it's probably linux lol), whereas the other category is probably BSD and the like.

Just a guess though, I have no idea

Considering how many people use a phone as their primary computing device now, it makes sense to me.

I think hed be pretty happy with that! That 13% may be less, but its all from 1 manufacturer or brand. They dont need to share a piece of the pie!

Android4Life! But come on, give up that graph that combines mobile + desktop operating systems! They are totally, completely different and should be kept separate. But only based on who buys them, who uses them, who supports them, customer vs corporate customers, etc...

Only 1% for Linux? Come on, all of Android is Linux!
