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.
The big plus about UNIX (where every command looks like a mis-type) is
that the operating system is essentially invisible to the end user. Well
it was designed by a telephone company.
