Last I checked, ~4% is greater than <1%.

Edit: It seemed pretty clear to me that, in the context of web browser usage, wmf was referring to GNU/Linux desktop usage, not server usage.

Linux dominates in the server space [1]:

* In 2021, 100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers run on Linux.

* Out of the top 25 websites in the world, only 2 aren’t using Linux.

* 96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux.

* 90% of all cloud infrastructure operates on Linux and practically all the best cloud hosts use it.

Although you are correct its windows desktop competitor has a low market share, there has been some shift towards Linux derivates such as Chromebooks that captured 10% market share in Q4 2020 and 5.3% in 2020 overall [2]

You're looking at market share among consumers. Check server marketshare and come back.

GNU/Linux is not limited to Desktop. It's magnitudes more relevant than Mozilla.
