- 24. LibreOffice User Base Estimate In term of number of users worldwide, we provide the following estimate based on a global number of PC users between 2 and 3 billion (90% Windows, 8% macOS, 2% Linux): ● 100% of desktop Linux users (between 40 and 60 million) ● 10% of desktop Windows users (between 180 and 270 million) ● 10% of desktop macOS users (between 16 and 24 million) So, we pick the lower figure of 236 million users worldwide, and we further reduce it to 200 million users worldwide to account for some duplications.
