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.

because macos fanboys are rich hipsters and spend large amounts of money on software and accessories for their already expensive computers. Linux users usually aren't very alike, the first 4,5 % isn't anyhow.
