Hey, by the end of the year we might reach 5%!

Which will be a very important milestone when it comes to hardware and software developers taking Linux seriously, which will in turn accelerate adoption even more.

I mean, macOS is not even 10% and most vendors release apps for it. So this is promising for Linux.
