Bad statistics alert!
If you use windows, you are VERY unlikely to use Linux and OSX. Conversely, almost EVERYONE who uses Linux or OSX will still have to use Windows. If even just half of the Linux users checked Windows, but rarely used it, then Windows would drop to 3rd place.
The overwhelming majority of servers are Linux (even Azure was announced to be majority Linux a few years ago). Despite this, only a fraction of "windows users" also used WSL. Trying to build UNIX software on Windows is fraught with difficulty. The fact that this number is so low either indicates a sampling bias for Stackoverflow or a lot of people checking the Windows box despite not using it a lot.
- dahauns 4y agoWhy should half of the Linux users check Windows when asked "What is the primary operating system in which you work?"?
