From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It'll be interesting to see if that number climbs once Windows 10 reaches EOL.
Win 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC will be my last Windows. I'm fairly sure Linux will be significantly greater in 2032, so I can avoid this spyware trash. Unfortunately my area of expertise is C#/.NET, so I'm stuck with this trash at work when I will be a working citizen.
.NET 5 and 6 are cross platform, so there is a Linux version. Unfortunately there is no Visual Studio for Linux (yet), only for MacOS.
Yeah luckily some people use C#/.NET on Linux with VS Code or Rider usually, it's just VS Studio is de facto standard in companies,
