According to Statcounter, Windows 11 held a 55.18% market share in October 2025. That share dropped to 53.7% in November and dropped again in December. Now, Windows 11 holds a 50.73% market share.

Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with forcefeeding AI or copying the user's screen content.

Linux Mint for desktop. Bazzite for handheld.

Bye Microsoft

Statcounter data has a lot of shortterm noise. Longterm trends are meaningful, but do not get too excited about short term fluctuations.

At the same time Windows has been slowly losing market share over the years.

Really hope windows market share has peaked and it's all downhill from here. Totally done with their BS.

Alternative headline: Linux market share increased by 30% from november to january!
