Also, you need to look at future outlook. If Linux is at 3%, that number is likely to remain stable or grow. If macOS 10.10 is at 1%, that number will never grow and will likely drop sharply in a short timeframe given historical trends as newer versions gain market share in its place and macOS gains market share overall.
