   Linux Statistics   
      
       47% of professional developers use Linux-based operating systems.   
   (Statista)   
      
       Linux powers 39.2% of websites whose operating system is known.   
   (W3Techs)   
      
       Linux powers 85% of smartphones. (Hayden James)   
      
       Linux, the third most popular desktop OS, has a market share of 2.09%.   
   (Statista)   
      
       The Linux market size worldwide will reach $15.64 billion by 2027.   
   (Fortune Business Insights)   
      
       The world’s top 500 fastest supercomputers all run on Linux.   
   (Blackdown)   
      
       96.3% of the top one million web servers are running Linux. (ZDNet)   
       Today, there are over 600 active Linux distros. (Tecmint)   
      
      
      
   SpaceX has used Linux-supported systems to complete 65 missions so far.   
      
   This includes the famous Falcon 9 missions. Being the primary choice of   
   governmental agencies as well as private companies, Linux users include   
   other high-end space organizations, including NASA and ESA.   
      
      
   About 90% of Hollywood special effects rely on Linux.   
      
   If you ever wondered how breathtaking special effects are created, they’re   
   mostly made in Linux. Approximately 90% of visual effects in Hollywood   
   rely on Linux at some stage of production. Linux usage stats show that the   
   flexibility of the existing devices and open-source code provided the   
   system with a natural advantage over other operating systems.   
      
      
      
   Intel and Huawei Technologies rank as the two biggest contributors to   
   Linux Kernel.   
      
   For instance, Intel employees added 12.6% in contributions to Linux, with   
   96,976 lines changed. On top of that, their contribution by the number of   
   changesets was 8%. The most surprising fact comes in the form of   
   contributions from Huawei. Contributors from this company made an 8.9%   
   addition (1,434 changesets) and 5.3% modified lines (41,049).   
      
      
   96.3% of the top one million web servers are running Linux.   
      
   Among the websites that run on Linux, remarkable ones include Twitter,   
   Yahoo, and eBay, speaking volumes about Linux popularity. The internet is   
   increasingly dependent on Linux — 96.3% of the top one million web servers   
   use Linux, server statistics indicate. Windows (1.9%) and FreeBSD (1.8%)   
   share the rest.   
      
   Linux stands behind the top 500 fastest supercomputers in the world.   
      
   Linux has been dominating the list for the last three years. Back in 2016,   
   498 supercomputers used Linux as the operating system, while the remaining   
   ones used Unix. One main reason behind heavy Linux adoption lies in its   
   open-source nature. Namely, all supercomputers have specific purposes, and   
   having an operating system that allows adjustments to those needs means a   
   great deal.

   Linux is the third most popular desktop OS, with a 2.09% market share.   
      
   As expected, Windows is the most popular OS for desktop, with a market   
   share going up to 73.72% — being the only OS with a share of over 70%.   
   Apple’s Mac has been gaining ground lately but is still a minor player   
   with 15.33%.
