From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm really suspicious of those numbers, seeing the sudden drop in macOS and Chrome OS, but I'm hoping so much that those are accurate. Things are slowly but surely getting better.
I also noticed this and a bit surprised. Ah well, gotta see if it is a fluke though.
