The big question is IMHO why.

Are people fleeing the Windows as Ad Space direction? Are they fed up with Mac OS oddities? Do they use their Steam deck more?

Or are they just enjoying the Linux experience....

I know that after years of Linux usage I can't stand Windows in-your-face Ads and "use our accounts". And I can't stand the locked down Apple ecosystem either. But what drives others? Are there any good sources on that question?

For general population, I guess it's steam deck.

For programmer / power user, I guess linux desktop is now in good state, for programming I find very minimum difficulty on using Ubuntu. It is now a viable choice beside mac and windows.

Furthermore with steam proton and lutris we can play many games with linux which was impossible. The programming device and gaming device now can use single Linux os

I'm not your average user (as most in this forum), but I've recently migrated to Linux as my daily driver because of Windows as Ad Space :)
