They have a business to run. How many of their customers run Linux vs Windows or MacOS?

They did a poll on Twitter. Aboit 40% users use Linux.

Here it is!

32.6% use Linux, even more than MacOS! PS not sure why the "it is" appears twice in the above link...

@hydration9806 @akilou this is a little biased though. It’s assuming most Proton users are on X. Is it though?

[–] nitefox 6 points 9 months ago

Then the question is, how many Linux users are off X. If they use proton I guess they care about privacy, which means they are more likely not to be on a capitalist social - more so one ran by Musk: the percentage of Linux users using proton products may be even higher.
