Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
arstechnica.com
Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there’s been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of desktops globally.

    What’s this about Docker not being free on MacOS? I have it installed and use it for dev work and it didn’t cost anything.

      Docker desktop has a license that restricts commercial use depending on the size of your company/employer.

      Use Colima to be on the safe side.

        Ah right on thanks for the info, I had no idea. My company is less than 10 people with single digit million revenue so it appears we’re not violating anything. I knew they had a paid service, but none of that seems unique to MacOS.
