> I think that the 2% figure for general use
The stats that give 2% are based on browsers visiting particular sites that send Javascript to the client which then sends data directly to the stats collector. I would suggest that Linux desktop users are more technical than the average and are much more likely to run Javascript and ad blockers. The Linux users may also be less likely to visit sites than run stats collectors. In particular my computers _never_ record in those stats.
In any case, desktop usage is falling, as is sales. Users are using more personal types of computers and Linux/Android has more than 80% of those and this is 3 or 4 times the desktop market.
