I doubt in my city that 1 in 20 people are using desktop Linux, which means there must be higher concentrations somewhere else, maybe in some corporate fleets or university labs.
So where are the big concentrations of desktop Linux in the US? I’m not hearing more stories of big migrations happening outside of ChromeOS.
Some, and some will learn a better way. And the more the poor security starts to affect people, the more will either bite the bullet and upgrade, or switch. And switching becomes more likely if they know someone else in one of the above categories, too.
5% is 1-20 users.

Linux usage is very non-uniform. I think the important clusters are:
People fed up with windows’ shit
Privacy advocates
[Coming Soon] People who can’t upgrade to 11 due to hardware who can’t afford a new PC.
They’ll stay in Windows 10 and ignore security risks.

So, if we consider a classroom, it’s roughly 1 or 2 students using linux in each class. I don’t think it’s too far off from real life experience.
Steamdeck and other linux gaming consoles maybe?
Steamdeck is great, but there are not enough of them to change statistics like this.
