Sadly, Linux is not as globally used on consumer desktops, but I wish it was ): .

What is even going on.. also what is up with the MacOS Cheetah thing that has been going on for a while too (it was at like 8-9% at some point)?
Edit: MacOS's marketshare feels off..

I still think IOS 18 is one of the most underwhelming apple versions because of how Apple Intelligence made navigating an iPhone and accidentally pressing things even more annoying and how toddler locked down AI was. Not to mention how the album generator proceeds to cry and give up if you give it a prompt that it “cannot find photos for” and half the time it pulls up unrelated images.

because you're supposed to test the prerelease software, not use it as a daily OS of course

I feel like macOS is basically the closest thing we have to this, since its kernel, among other parts of the OS, are FOSS, since it's based on BSD. It's still not Linux though. I feel like immutable Linux distributions would have to solve some of their problems (*cough* having to choose between using Flatpaks and a convoluted package layering system *cough*) first, but after that, they could eventually become the perfect consumer Linux platform.

I was going to say ChromeOS is closer but it's less common than normal linux
