That site shows OS usage on all platforms, mobile and TV included. If you select "current calendar year" as the time frame (to smooth out short term changes), the total desktop OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS) usage is about 50%, Linux usage is about 6%. 6% out of 50% is 12%. So, according to that site, Linux usage is about 12% if you consider only desktop OSes.
That is my naive reading of the data also. And it makes me very happy.
