The Linux market share (according to statcounter) has exceeded 10% in the USA for the ongoing month of July.

How accurate the data is—I'm not sure. But previous datapoints are showing a trend.

This trend could likely be a direct result of the release of the Steam Machine, which would explain why it's higher in the USA (for the ongoing month of July) than it is worldwide (which is at 7.28%). Additionally, SteamOS was released for desktop recently, which could be affecting the operating system that users are using (both in the USA and worldwide).
