StatCounter’s June 2026 report shows Linux at one of its strongest recent positions, while Windows falls to 56.55%.
Idk why everyone is always looking at statcounter. I still feel like Cloudflare probably has better data.
It feels like macOS is somehow over represented there. Specially for a global statistic. In many countries macs are completely residual, where I live I almost know more people using linux than mac.
Anecdotally, I’m seeing a lot of bot traffic masquerading with a macOS user agent
Maybe countries where macs are more popular throw it off. But I’d be surprised if even the US was over 20% for Mac (but not iOS).
Yep, seems about right.
The only thing this does not count are the offline devices. But in todays day and age, how many don’t connect to the internet in some way or form?
Offline devices would be either air gapped old windows or stability Linux, probably Debian.
Whats up with android and iOS? They are counted, since they have their own colors, but shouldnt they be quite visible? I have a hard time believing there is more linux/macOS than android/iOS out there
Device type of Desktop answers that I think…
Whoopsiedoodles, my bad
This graph is like trumps approval rating

Well I can’t speak for the whole world but by my Windows usage dropped 100% from 2025 to 2026.
I hope they never recover.
I’m not surprised. Between privacy concerns, forced features, and Linux becoming easier to use, the barrier to switching is lower than it used to be.
I just Minted my old laptop that I last used like… 2-3 years ago to try out Ubuntu (which didn’t go well.) The progress is huge and I’m really very confused on how well things work now, even all my games on Steam?? When did this all happen?? Gonna make the switch on my main PC in few weeks.
Proton has been a huge game changer tho
Incoming rename to Copilot OS.
I dual boot my AsshairTrimmer with CopilotOS and Arsch btw.
That number seems rather low. I can see that number for overall OS share, including mobile devices, but for desktop I’d expect Windows to be a lot higher.
EDIT: Thinking about it further, if you included mobile devices, then Android would have to be even higher than Windows is here. Either way, these numbers look off.
StatCounter lists OS X at 11.89% and macOS at 4.48% for June 2026
What?
Os x is the older name for it and likely un upgraded devices. Macos is the current name for it and newer, upgraded os’s.
That was what I couldn’t believe that 3/4 of all Macs today are running a 10 years old version of Apples Operating system.
Some people just never update
In the chart “unknown “ has an impressive share is it any good?
Nobody knows, hence the name.
I will switch to a computer for work with Linux or MacOS. The current situation with Windows is not OK. You need to get your shit together again basically.
I’d take that with a big pinch of salt since the shortfall is “unknown”. Probably means they’re picking up a fuck ton of bot traffic and there’s nobody at the wheel over at StatCounter…
