Another month down according to Statcounter at least, Linux on the desktop is doing better than ever. Take it with your usual little pinch of salt like any survey sampling though.

There is a MAS solution for windows that activates it on GitHub. I had to use it when the key I purchased a decade ago didn’t work when I upgraded my hardware. I didn’t want to pay a second time for an OS that was going to push Cortana, OneDrive, and ads at me.
On desktop it is 7%. On desktop in Europe it is 10%. On desktop in Finland it is 15%.
For Linux, it seems like Asia is pumping the numbers with 5.8%. Linux use in Finland is 3.25%. Norway is 12.3%
