This will drive more people to Linux. The forced migration to Win11 is already doing wonders with Linux adoption.
Are there any actual statistics showing this ongoing migration, or are we just assuming?
It is up to aproximately 4% on desktops worldwide. source
Consumer or business? I can see businesses but I have yet to run into a consumer, who isn't an enthusiast, who is even aware of Linux.
Speculation on the data seems to imply that Windows is losing users to Android/iOS; thus an apparent rise in Linux. There is no way to tell how much of the drive is what I just said or the Windows -> Linux.
