The world's most popular operating system has seen a 2% decline in users, who are now flocking to Microsoft's latest OS, Windows 11.

It’s fine. They said Windows 10 is there last operating system. It sure is for me.

World’s most popular desktop operating system is what the author means…

Servers and mobile devices completely ignored, disregarding mobile alone represents more devices than desktop. Quite an omission to say the least.

Yeah, as Wikipedia puts it:

As of April 2024, Android, a mobile OS that uses the Linux kernel, is the world’s most widely used operating system. It has 42.73% of the global market, followed by Windows with 28.08%

And these numbers don’t include embedded devices, of which there are a metric fuckton. So, non-Android Linux might be ahead of Android, too.
