What if we count WSL and Android?
-
Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

"3 billion devices run Java"

Shudders

Linux kernel is Linux kernel. Few desktops run Android, though.

Linux market share is not the same as Grub market share. Torvalds is against the GPL v3 because he explicitly does not mind locked bootloaders and signed kernels.

WSL definitely. It's a gateway drug I've peddled to many a developer.
-
This is why I had to switch. It was just too clunky to get CUDA and Pytorch and Tensorflow set up in Windows. In Linux, it was a total breeze.
Edit: And then I thought, "well, wouldn't it be great if I didn't have to use Windows to use Linux?"
-
Yup. First comes WSL, then comes a VM, then comes the good stuffs.

WSL on my work machine is a godsend. Otherwise I would not be able to tolerate the dev environment on windows.
-
I peddle that to my coworkers for no other reason than because I don't know how to deal with Windows garbage when they run into a problem. It's more for my sanity than anything else.

For me its history repeats itself with dos and msdos.
