This just in. According to an extremely niche fediverse blog, Linux usage has reached 100% of laptop/desktop users. This report came only days after Linux usage topped 5%. We asked our team of experts what could have led to such a meteoric rise in Linux usage, but they just shrugged and said maybe Windows 11 just really sucks. Experts were also similarly baffled at data pointing to a collapse in iPhone usage, and users favoring some form of Android

Representatives from Apple and Microsoft declined to comment.
