Dang, up a percent in a year? That actually is pretty notable for Linux. I know it’s gotten easier to install and use (easier distros), but could this be more a shift to mobile over windows or macos?
Statcounter separates Linux Desktop from Android/mobile and ChromeOS
I finally made the switch recently. Windows kept getting worse, and worse, and worse. Every day I felt like I had to fight it more to just do anything. I’ve been mainly a Windows user my entire life and I just couldn’t stand to use it any more.
I couldn’t be happier. Every game I play on steam just works. I’m installing mods and updating config files deep in the magical proton depths and it just works. A clean install of the operating system is actually a clean place to start. I’m telling everyone I know.
A 1 year increase in market share from 3.18% to 4.55% is not a 1.37% increase, it’s a 43% increase!
Title needs an update to include “desktop”. Linux market share is much, much, higher.
I really want to switch to Linux, but i just can’t find a way to make my headset work. I’ve tried everything: Fedora, Arch, PopOS, etc… :( i’m stock with Windows for now.
I dunno if I can help, but what kind of headset?

Sounds like you want PipeWire - not related to a specific distro.
I’ve had weird issues with my keyboard not working in the first minute of booting. I tried all the grub stuff. I was using Ubuntu and Pop, and tried Arch all the same. I’m very impatient so this surprisingly is a deal breaker for me.
I eventually used different ports on my mini PC for it work on boot.I know for most people that’d be the first thing they’d try, but like it’d work in Windows with no tinkering.
I’m happy going back to Pop OS! now like this and I think I’d like to try Arch in the future again.
I have a weird issue where my USB headset doesn’t show up in my list of devices whenever I turn my computer on (including waking from sleep) and I have to unplug and replug it. It’s a small thing, but it’s a little maddening when you think about how you wouldn’t have to deal with it if you had just booted into Windows.
I need to try changing ports. I was considering trying it, but I was being stubborn. That fixing your problem gives me hope.
How are you trying to connect it?
Linux is gonna 5% this year
