That's possibly the first time that "skyrocketed" and "5%" have been used together in one sentence.

Of total users 5% is a substantial number of consumers and some would argue a non-trivial amount of market share to ignore when making a product.

This also goes without saying that the more adoption we see, the better these alternatives will get as we see consumers and businesses view Linux as worth the investment.

The first 5% is the hardest. It won’t take 35 years to reach 10%.
