Justin Garrison works at Amazon Web Services on the Kubernetes team (and was senior systems engineer on several animated films).
This week he spotted a new milestone for Linux in the 2022 StackOverflow developer survey:
[Among the developers surveyed] Linux as a primary operating system had been steadily climbing for the past 5 years. 2018 through 2021 saw steady growth with 23.2%, 25.6%, 26.6%, 25.3%, and finally in 2022 the usage was 40.23%. Linux usage was more than macOS in 2021, but only by a small margin. 2022 it is now 9% more than macOS.
Their final stats for “professional use” operating system:
Windows: 48.82%Linux-based: 39.89%MacOs: 32.97%
But Garrison’s blog post notes that that doesn’t include the million-plus people all the Linux-based cloud development environments (like GitHub Workspaces) — not to mention the 15% of WSL users on Windows and all the users of Docker (which uses a Linux VM).
“It’s safe to say more people use Linux as part of their development workflow than any other operating system.”
