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 one
for free...
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.
Yes. When you take into consideration /all/ aspects of computing, Linux is
by far the most used OS.
It runs 68% of the Internet servers, runs routers, runs onboard automobile
computers, Smart TVs, smart phones, supercomputers (95%), avionics, etc.
I thought it was ARM by a british company that was used most or leader in mobile devices anyway.
