Linux smashed the record. Users have surpassed 5% for the first time in history. 🍋

Most recently, Linux, an open-source operating system, set a new record in the United States with a market share on desktop computers exceeding 5% in the United States for the first time in its history. According to StatCounter, June 2025, Linux occupies 5.03%, the highest figure since data was collected. It represents a leap in the popularity of alternative operating systems that are becoming increasingly active.

.

Although Windows still dominates the market with a share of 63.2%, the trend has been steadily declining over the past 10 years. Apple's system segment has combined at around 24%, while Chrome OS is 2.71% and "unknown" systems 4.76%. Linux has also surpassed the Unknown category for the first time.

.

What brought Linux more attention, in part, came from user dissatisfaction with Microsoft's guidelines, specifically the end of Windows 10 support that squeezed it to upgrade to Windows 11, which had stringent hardware requirements, including privacy issues, forced updates, and in-system ads that many were starting to be unokay with.

.

There are also a lot of users who have turned to Linux to revive old machines with lighter and safer systems, or some have come to know Linux from the Steam Deck game machine, which makes the memory that Linux is difficult to use fade and become a new option that is both stable, easy to use and better to solve every day.

... Read moreหลังจากเห็นข่าวว่าผู้ใช้ Linux ในสหรัฐฯ มีส่วนแบ่งตลาดเกิน 5% ครั้งแรก ผมเองก็อยากแชร์ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่พบว่า Linux เริ่มเป็นตัวเลือกที่เหมาะกับใครหลาย ๆ คนมากขึ้นจริง ๆ หลายคนที่รู้สึกไม่พอใจกับข้อจำกัดในการใช้ Windows อย่างการอัปเกรดบังคับ หรือโฆษณาที่แทรกเข้ามาโดยไม่ตั้งใจ มักจะเริ่มหันมารับรู้ถึงความคุ้มค่าของระบบโอเพ่นซอร์สนี้ นอกจากนี้การนำ Linux ไปติดตั้งบนเครื่องรุ่นเก่าก็ช่วยยืดอายุการใช้งานเครื่องให้นานขึ้น และยังทำให้ประหยัดค่าใช้จ่ายในระยะยาวด้วย อย่าง Steam Deck ที่ใช้ระบบ Linux ที่ทำให้หลายคนลืมภาพจำเดิม ๆ ที่คิดว่า Linux ใช้งานยากไปจนหมดสิ้น เพราะเดี๋ยวนี้มีอินเทอร์เฟซที่เป็นมิตร รองรับแอปหลากหลาย และชุมชนผู้ใช้ที่คอยช่วยเหลือกันอย่างเข้มแข็ง อีกทั้ง การที่ Linux ขยายฐานผู้ใช้เพิ่มขึ้นถือเป็นการเปิดมุมใหม่ให้กับวงการไอที โดยเฉพาะคนที่ต้องการระบบปฏิบัติการที่มั่นคงและโปร่งใสในการจัดการข้อมูลส่วนตัว ซึ่งในยุคนี้ก็มีความสำคัญไม่แพ้เรื่องประสิทธิภาพในการทำงานเลยทีเดียว สำหรับใครที่ยังลังเล การลองใช้ Linux ในโหมดทดลองก่อนลงจริงบนเครื่องก็เป็นอีกทางเลือกที่ดี และอาจจะทำให้คุณค้นพบประสบการณ์ที่คุ้มค่ากับการเปลี่ยนแปลงก็ได้ครับ
