Not really: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share Firefox is irrelevant. Which explains why they support things like this. If you can't win by building better software you can win by bullying anyone else who does.

https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share Last I checked, ~4% is greater than <1%. Edit: It seemed pretty clear to me that, in the context of web browser usage, wmf was referring to GNU/Linux desktop usage, not server usage.

  Linux dominates in the server space [1]: * In 2021, 100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers run on Linux. * Out of the top 25 websites in the world, only 2 aren’t using Linux. * 96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux. * 90% of all cloud infrastructure operates on Linux and practically all the best cloud hosts use it. Although you are correct its windows desktop competitor has a low market share, there has been some shift towards Linux derivates such as Chromebooks that captured 10% market share in Q4 2020 and 5.3% in 2020 overall [2] [1] https://hostingtribunal.com/blog/linux-statistics/#gref https://hostingtribunal.com/blog/linux-statistics/#gref [2] https://www.geekwire.com/2021/chromebooks-outsold-macs-worldwide-2020-cutting-windows-market-share/ https://www.geekwire.com/2021/chromebooks-outsold-macs-world...

  GNU/Linux is not limited to Desktop. It's magnitudes more relevant than Mozilla.

  Linux is the server/embedded/supercomputer OS. It is "relevant". I'm not sure RMS had much to do with that. Posting from Firefox on Linux, ~4% does not make something "relevant".

  You're looking at market share among consumers. Check server marketshare and come back.
