2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

0.69% (nice) on windows 7 64bit. That's 0.75% total or 0.91% including windows 8 which is also dying. This is slightly under half of the linux user base according to these statistics

I think the 1.91 also includes the stream deck, but for some reason it isn't included in the list (it is included if you select only Linux). It is about 5.5x Arch so around 0.8% of the total installs.

So the discontinue versions are around the same number as Linux desktop installs.
