in the western world 5% to 6% seems about right, as you point out in the article there is more than one source putting it in that range.
Statista also has a dataset (statista.com/statistics/268237…) putting Linux at 3.7% globally in march with more than 7% unknown.
I'm curious how it will change in October with Win 10 finally being EOL and MS nagging people to throw away perfectly good desktops and laptops.
