Hi, GPLv2 license of Linux kernel is responsible for very low installations of Linux desktops (only 4% to 6% of the global desktop computer market).
People in general don’t want to use Linux desktops because it is difficult to find device drivers for a majority of devices. The device manufacturers don’t want to develop the drivers for Linux because then they will have to release the source code (because of GPLv2), and they don’t want to release the source code because the competitors can then read the source code and figure out their hardware innovation/invention. So, companies don’t develop device drivers for Linux because they don’t want to release the source code, and this results in not many people using Linux desktops. Amit
