People generally mean consumer facing products when they talk about market share. In particular I was commenting on how many Linux communities are still obsessed with the idea that desktop Linux will win out over Windows
Android is basically Linux. But I don't see many communities obsessing over it, the 'year of the linux desktop' thing has been a meme for decades.
Ya know that’s a fair point about the phones. But as far as desktop I still see lots of posts about how Linux is “taking over” the (desktop) gaming space. Most of which ignore the real reasons people don’t use Linux (again, on desktop) (the community, the difficulty of setup, the inertia, etc)
Most Linux fanboys don't think Linux will ever truly overtake Windows, just that it has the potential to cut into their market share.
