# Download JSON data from URL

# Process data

    if "macos" in os_version:
        macos_total += count

# Calculate percentages
grand_total = macos_total + linux_total
macos_percentage = (macos_total / grand_total) * 100

# Output results
print(f"macOS: {macos_percentage:.2f}%")
print(f"Linux: {linux_percentage:.2f}%")

# As of December 11, 2024
# macOS: 85.43%
# Linux: 14.57%
