An interesting detail is that the desktop OS market share of Linux has exploded in India since 2022. Linux has now a market share of over 16% there! This must be an important driver for the world-wide increase.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Linux had a market share of almost 5% in 2017, but then fell rapidly and is only very recently gaining speed again. 2017 was the year when Munich returned to Windows.
Linux is also gaining speed in North America, but in Europe the trend is rather linear

I was singing to my dogs this morning (as one does) and realized that I don't actually know all the lyrics to any song besides "Peanut Butter Jelly Time."
