HOLDUP, BACK UP THE BUS A SECOND!
Between all my devices I have like 20 different OSs running in my house right now. 1 is windows, 1 is apple, and alllll the rest including my phone are flavors of linux.
Those stats are heavily skewed to the point of being absurd. Your NAS isn't being counted. Your smart watch isn't being counted. Your eReader isn't being counted. Your smart appliances aren't being counted. Your umbrel/raspi node isn't being counted. Your Router certainly isn't being counted.
Heck, considering the fact that absolutely no one uses a windows phone, these stats look like they are completely discounting the phone OS market. Android (linux) is easily #1, then Apple (iOS) #2.
The bottom line is that Linux is an EXTREMELY popular OS because it's free. It's running more than half of everyone's household right now.

this, as per highlighted in the introduction, is only referring to desktop ad laptop devices. Mobile data report can be found here #386517
And thanks for the suggestions, I'll look deeper into NAS, smartwatches and appliances. eReaders are probably included in the mobile data report as tablets.
