Year of the Linux desktop was the year a lot of people were given Chromebooks.

If people help spread the red hate we'll be at 4% in a few years.

Now I wonder if notebooks are counted in "desktop PC category" assuming they are x86 notebooks (x86 ~ PC).

Except not all Chromebooks expose a GNU/Linux userspace, and the few that do, that is actually sandboxed, WSL style.

So maybe Windows 10/11 also count.

The usual pat in the back to count anything with Linux kernel as GNU/Linux, except Google can exchange Linux kernel with Fuchsia's zircon and no one on userspace would notice it.
