I mean, just to be clear on what that looks like...

That'd be the red line, there. Assuming you take Statcounter numbers at face value, even.

Incidentally, how have the MacOS and OSX not converged more, speaking of end of life stuff?

Also note the drop in Chrome OS mirrors the rise in Linux so I wouldn't rule out this just being user agent changes.

Statcounter is... a valid proxy, but I don't know if I trust it for fine grain changes. Big trends, maybe. Windows overall certainly seems to have lost some ground over time. Whether that's desktop PCs becoming less popular, the laptop market moving a bit towards Mac, the handheld market being weirdly represented because this only counts devices used for web browsers or whatever else is harder to parse.
