    I have seen stats that both Linux and ChromeOS have around 3.5% market share.

    If ChromeOS continues to converge with proper desktop Linux, I consider it a distro which makes 10%+ possible this year.

    The wild card for me is Linux gaming. It may not grow fast but it totally could.

    Which had me wondering for the first time I hearing about “The Year of the Linux Desktop”, what percentage do we have to hit for this to be the year?

    I don’t really expect us to hit it but, for the first time, I feel like it is possible.

      Imo it’s more of a list of things that need to happen, like some mainstream games, apps and devices getting 1st-party Linux support. I suspect this to start happening around the 20% mark, but ofc that’s just a guess.
