We’re all Linux users on this blessed day
Speak for yourself.
I am ALL Linux users on this blessed day.
Been doing my part since October last year, have no intention to stop. Linux is awesome!
Same. 4 Linux machines. Three newly. 😊👌
Yay! It’s the year of the Linux desktop!
How much of that is the SteamDeck?
I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.
Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic matter.
Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…
It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it I’ve month later. Samr but opposite goes for the windows stats.
I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…
Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.
ie - Linux has a 4.45% market share! (Margin of error +/- 6%)
-2% market share?!?
Maybe it’s +/- 6% of 4.45%. Which would mean +/-0.3%
I think a trendline would be nice here. I think the result will be roughly Mac -0.25%/y, Windows -1%/y and Linux +0.5% per year and unknown +1%/y.
I think however that just like 2024 that 2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop and adoption will start a steep climb up an S curve.
2035: 105% Linux!
Next year, they’ll be on that ballot,!
I didn’t know presidential threshold for OS is a thing.
Just wait until M$ makes windows a subscription model…
Couple weeks ago switched to Mint on my main rig. Since then I also installed Linux on my wifes old laptop. It works great, runs fast and it was 99% a painless transition. With my Steam Deck thats 3 Linux devices in our household.
I wish I coud touch the win 11 on my work laptop as well.
Also fuck Microsoft.
Oh look how awesome windows 11 is going! Let me drag this Linux factoid onto my edge presentation, no I mean my power point that I have running on edge. I mean the edge in this teams running power point from this remote desktop running on edge thru a teams behind a VPN under an edge running power point running edge in teams running…10 years later…fuck this shit! I’m running Linux!
I suggest Manjaro. Debian’s always 5 versions behind, and Ubuntu’s ‘selling security’ - Fedora’s good though.
Oh shit…https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Debian-based_distributions
I didn’t think there would be so many. I’ve used knopix many times before.
I use Ubuntu already on all my installs except for the kid’s computer which looks like a virus made windows and then installed over another virus, and the wife’s PC.
Do you think that I could successfully win them over to Linux?
But yeah I’m thinking to move out of Ubuntu but I want debian or compatible. I want a simple Linux that does all my usual Linux stuff. Lots of people recommend Arch.
If they are into gaming, Nobara is basically the best, no headache choice.
