I think marked share on desktops has increased substantially more than the years before.

2% now, which is significant growth (seriously).

Pornhub's 2024 statistics show that almost 5% of traffic came from Linux devices. This number doesn't include PCs that are used purely for work (probably).

Pornhub's audience is 75% male, and Linux users are almost all male too (and ... no offence guys but probably more likely to rely on porn), so I wouldn't take that as a representative global figure.

Statcounter gives 1.4% which is much more likely to be unbiased (and sounds way more plausible based on my experience of real life).
