It counts for ~1% overall.  Nearly all web client counters agree.

I think the Wikipedia traffic is a good source; everyone visits wiki pages.

Dec 2014:
Linux:      15.28%
Android:    14.06%
Difference:  1.22%

So all these phones and tablets boot up and run just a kernel?

Amazing.  How do they accomplish that?

Also, the discussion - which you started - was about desktop distros. 
Why are you shifting the goalposts to Android and embedded?

Why?  Gnome can't run by itself.

Which is as least as much as "advocates" like shitv, Dumb Willie, RonG, 
and JED have shown they can do.
