The current Linux desktop usage is about 5% and gradually growing and my current mission here is to make it grow to 10%, the minimum penetration before my demise.
It seems that Linux has substantial contribution in server domain. Ubuntu (34%) seems to top the server domain and closely followed by Redhat (33%),Debian (16%) and the rest of 17% by other operating systems. I do not think Microsoft has any big share in the rest of the 17%, and its main interest is in the Desktop Arena where its penetration is nearly 75%.
I do not think, I can convert Apple (Apple in any case is Unix based) users to Linux but, if I can convert 10% of Window’s guys (I have no interest in converting girls by design) to dual boot Linux, my target of 10% could be achieved without much toil and effort.
I think this will eventually happen due to enormous amount of cost saving.
The money saved can be used to buy new hardware.
In fact, new hardware is already flooding the market in the name of small-form-factor design of Mini Computers.
By the way, Intel NUC is my base but Intel has decided to leave the market, a surprise move but ASUS is taking over the niche market, in style.
Linux is largely bug free, unlike the Windows which is an operating systems that include Closed Code proprietary software that is infested with many bugs.
Linux Mint may fall to this tragedy due to its inclusion of proprietary code.

Today, there are over 600 active Linux distributions. (Tecmint)
It is time to “Move Over” from Windows and macOS, because Linux is currently, storming the technology world.
With over 70% of web servers, 100% of the worlds top 500 supercomputers, Android dominating mobile devices and a staggering presence in cloud infrastructure, data centres, embedded systems and the stock market, its clear that Linux is not just, an operating system.
It is a powerhouse.
By the way, NASA is using Linux.
Embraced by developers, technological giants, and even Gamers, the Linux influence spans industries and continues to grow, proving that when it comes to innovation and adaptability, the Open Source OS reigns supreme.
Welcome to the world of Linux, where the possibilities are endless and the Code is the King of innovation.
