Best way to gauge worldwide usage percentage of operating system?

I am interested in finding out how much market share Microsoft, Apple and Linux have, on computers that access the Internet. What is the best source of this data?

Couple of questions: * the internet or just the web? * Any Windows/macOS/Linux or do you want broken down by versions? * What about mobile iOS and Android stuff?

  just the web, not interested in versions. only desktop.

    https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/browsers/#desktop-site-by-os https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/browsers/#desktop... is probably a good source of information as Wikimedia has some big sites and Wikipedia is huge. * Windows -- 70% * Mac -- 20% * Linux+Chrome OS -- 7% (or just 5% if you want to exclude Chrome OS)
