The market for desktop users of Linux is less than 2% [1] of the overall desktop based on web stats.
Your stats as provided by this company
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_Applications
"While the statistics released by the company routinely place Operating Systems sold by Microsoft (Windows) and Apple (Mac OS X) with a high market share in the desktop computer category (through 2013), Vincent Vizzaccaro (EVP - Marketing and Strategic Alliances, Net Applications, 2002-) has stated that Microsoft and Apple are among the company's clients.[2] The company has also admitted that their statistics are skewed.[3] These admissions and the fact the company doesn't make their data sources or processing methods public, has led many to criticize the company (e.g.[4]); questioning their impartiality and the reliability of their statistics."
You're never going to get true stats, particularly if all you monitor are www.microsoft.com or www.apple.com etc
I'm not implying anything here, just pointing it out, that's all.
