Android is the leading by the share of page views worldwide, accounting for percent of page views from desktop, tablet, mobile, and console devices in 2025. Windows ranks as the next most widely used operating system, while iOS, the standard installation on iPhone and iPad devices, ranks third. Linux OS versions serve as the primary option for users who prefer open-source software and intend to avoid the influence of major OS developers.Â
Operating systems
Operating systems serve as the underlying platforms that connect computer hardware and software. They provide users with the graphical interface through which they issue commands and perform tasks on electronic devices. Billions of people make use of these devices and their operating systems on a regular basis, meaning that the companies that develop these widely used technologies have a great deal of influence on the daily lives of internet users around the world. Although Microsoft Windows is the clear leader in terms of desktop operating systems, the company’s mobile device operating system failed to make a successful transition into the smartphone market, where Android and iOS are essentially the only two options.
