You can set it to go back to 2009. Apparently it hit 3% in Q3 2023. And apparently Windows has steadily been trending downward from 95% to 73% since 2009, which is wild to me. I find it hard to believe that that isn’t due to other factors like increased smartphone use over desktops.
I understand that, but if people stop using desktops entirely (because they already have a phone in their pocket), the remaining users might be more likely to be on macOS or Linux for a specific reason.
I don’t see the methodology on that page so it’s hard to say for sure.
Haven’t we celebrated 3% just a few months ago?

There’s separate market shares for mobile devices, and combined as well.
Choosing all platforms we currently get:
Linux - 1.54%
Unknown - 2.42%
OS X - 5.87%
iOS - 17.82%
Windows - 27.39%
Android - 43.74%

Android is Linux, too.
Only if you completely disregard the userland and impound the definition of Linux to the kernel base
