minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoTo be clear, while Linux has won much of the mobile market - FreeBSD still has roughly a third of the market worldwide, and more than half in the US for an example.
minus-squareDnn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWell, yeah, it has the rest of the market share. But that means, Linux hat 50% in the US and 70% worldwide.
minus-squareerwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoServer was won pretty quickly as Linux became the only remaining Unix. Mobile was won because Google picked it as a kernel, however it’s at best a pyrrhic victory because the userspace has nothing to do with other Linux. Desktop also needs a specific event to be won, it won’t just grow up progressively for no reason.
