The website of OpenRA, the OpenSource-implementation of the RTS-classics Dune 2000, Red Alert und Command and Conquer has recently released some interesting statistics.

One of the statistics shows, that the downloads for the OpenRA-version for Linux scores the second place with 13%, and achieves even more downloads than the version for MacOS (12%).

The authors of the statistic think these numbers are remarkable in general, because the shares of both Linux and OS X are much larger than their respective share of the desktop market:

Not unsurprisingly, most downloaded packages are for the Windows platform (almost 75%!), with Linux being a distant second at 13% and OS X coming last with the remaining 12%. It is notable that the shares of both Linux and OS X are much larger than their respective share of the desktop market.
