I feel the same way about Linux. In global terms its such a minority

Dunno. Not much of a user base for a Lamborghini either, but I'd take

Wasn't much of a user base for DOS either till IBM built their PC.

Incidentally the whole desktop PC thing is in a state of collapse.

Of course since most mobiles, routers and servers are based on Linux,
you could argue that its got a higher user base than windows.
