This is a big deal. More Linux users leads to more Linux-supporting software, which leads to more users.
The biggest resistence is front-loaded into that first few percent.
In my opinion, advancements in binary compatibility accross distributions (Flatpak, AppImage, …) and broad compatibility with Windows software (Wine and forks… thank you Valve!) are making Linux easier to use.
It should correlate with more donations , the donations linux mint are getting are also growing fairly consistently. the same is true for the “Open Source Collective” which is a fiscal host for open source projects.
