According to Google Trends the answer is yes.

The Linux Advocate first brought this to the attention of the masses when he wrote:

“Linux has not only surpassed its major competitor in Linux ( SuSE ) in popularity, as well as the distro it’s based off of (Debian) , but it seems to have also surpassed another major competitor. Yes, that’s right! Apple Computer’s very own Mac OS X has also been defeated in popularity by Ubuntu! The blue line you see shooting up to the sky there is Ubuntu itself, while Mac OS, SuSE and Debian seem to all hang around the same general level of popularity.”

This rise in numbers is more than likely due to an increase in searches for ‘how do I install flash on Ubuntu?” circa every release but nonetheless it’s good to see Ubuntu becoming increasingly popular. Ironically it’s looking more like a Mac OS by the release!
