bought Ṁ2 YES

Does ChromeOS count towards the Linux desktop share since its Linux just not a community GNU/Linux distro?

@KyleY it is in striking distance (but not over currently) if we include it since it's linux but not if we just count the “Linux” tag

If the question was “will mac have 12% desktop share” then it would make sense to combine “macros” and “OS x” so it's a bit of a gray area. (though still NO rn)

@KyleY Yeah

Is this about the percentage at close or does getting above it, at any point, count even if it dips again?

@LiamZ the procentage for December
