That’s a huge increase.

    Linux market share

    windows market share

    A real “tortoise vs hare” situation it seems.

    Pace of adoption also seems to be accelerating , from 2009 to about 2016 it went from 0.5 to 1,5 (+ 1 percent), from 2016 to 2023 it went from 1.5 to 3 (+1.5 percent), the adoption also seems to be at least doubling about every decade (which might indicate a “word to mouth” growth pattern.

      Steam and CodeWeavers drive this adoption at fast pace with proton and vulkan…

      Other are some developer that switch fully from WSL2 to Linux (like me).

      Other are finding refuge… welp…

        Same here. WSL1 has shown me the ecosystem of Linux, so I decided to switch from Windows to Linux completely.

          Well, but now WSL2 with GUI seems threaten a little about Linux DE in the end :/

          WSL number is quite high with dev, and sometimes I also think WSL2 is convenient because I don’t need to have desktop linux to work with.
