Best way to gauge worldwide usage percentage of operating system? 4 points by inatreecrown2 1y ago ↗ HN I am interested in finding out how much market share Microsoft, Apple and Linux have, on computers that access the Internet. What is the best source of this data?
[–] mattl 1y ago ↗ Couple of questions:* the internet or just the web?* Any Windows/macOS/Linux or do you want broken down by versions?* What about mobile iOS and Android stuff? [–] inatreecrown2 1y ago ↗ just the web, not interested in versions. only desktop. [–] mattl 1y ago ↗ https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/browsers/#desktop... is probably a good source of information as Wikimedia has some big sites and Wikipedia is huge.* Windows -- 70%* Mac -- 20%* Linux+Chrome OS -- 7% (or just 5% if you want to exclude Chrome OS) [–] inatreecrown2 1y ago ↗ Wow, thank you. That is very helpful!
