For years, it was seen as an operating system only for tech-savvy enthusiasts, developers, and the enterprise world, not the average desktop user.

Furthermore, the steady growth may be attributed to factors such as privacy concerns, increased customization options, and the availability of user-friendly distributions like Ubuntu and Mint that make Linux more accessible to new users.
