Windows 11 market share has been going down, while Linux market share has been going up by a few percent. I doubt that people are going back to an older OS. But even if that’s the case: These Windows 10 users will eventually have to find some other OS, as Win 10 won’t get security updates after 2025. Sure, not all of them will switch to Linux, but I’m sure that a notable portion of them will.
I wish I shared your optimism. Most likely most regular users won’t care about not getting security updates, some of the ones that do will switch to Linux, but the majority (of the minority of people that care about getting security updates) will probably switch to win11, macOS, or ChromeOS (which might as well not be based on the Linux kernel seeing as it’s so locked down).
Like others have mentioned it is dropping in favor of 10 but some who are knowledgeable are moving to Linux as well. Corporations are looking into shifting to alternatives (Linux) as windows 10 loses support… and becomes very expensive per user to keep after Microsoft drops it.
Is it? Even if it is, it’s probably dropping in favour of win10, rather than Linux.
