Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.
So if 0.07% increase per year, then It’ll only take us 1428 years for full Linux domination of 100%!
No that’s +0.07 for August. July had close to +0.1
Well that changes everything.
3451 is the year of the Linux desktop!
Isn’t that usually a logarithmic growth?
But then my joke would not be nearly as fonny 😬
Year of the Linux desktop here we come!!!
Whoever uses Chrome OS willingly is taking the worst of all options.
Cheap school laptops. Google has an unbelievable edge in the K-12 space. Lower cost, built-in educational tools, cloud-first so work isn’t lost, fewer security risks, etc. All those kids really need is a web browser and some office applications.
Our corporation (170k employees) switched to google workspace and demands that everyone who can, should work with a chrome book. It’s wild. It’s still a minority, but we actually have a significant percentage working exclusively on chromebooks now (still single digit thought afaik).
Nana is feeling targeted.
That’s a rounding error.
No, that’s not an error! That was me, I recently installed Linux.
Did you also pay for WinZip?
Ew. You should pay for WinRAR.
What did I miss
OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.
OSX makes no sense to me these days. I can have a similar interface in Linux with Gnome+Dash-to-Dock, plus I get access to most PC games via Proton and it provides ALL of the development tools that I need. I’d add that, at least in my experience, most Ryzen-based laptops run Linux with absolutely no issues…
And then you try to run Adobe
There is a decent used market for Macs, and the software is usually the pull. There’s no headache of installing or configuring options on Mac, either. Is there a Linux distro that installs from USB nd works with no config or a few theme options?
After being a lifelong Windows user, I switched to Pop!_OS for around a year before going back to Windows 10 a few months ago.
I went back to Windows, just because a few things weren’t as plug and play as I’d hoped but started to get really annoyed with how intrusive Windows was.
After using Mint for about a month now, I don’t think I’ll go back to Windows. It just does what I want.
I’m happy to read your experience! Do you prefer Mint over Pop? Mint is more windows-like, if I remember correctly?
Prefer mint for sure. What I like most about it is how reliable and unobtrusive it is.
I’ve had zero issues with getting any hardware or software up and running with it, and it just gets out of the way and lets me use my PC how I want.
Are they counting steam decks? Cause that’s kinda cheating.
Don’t see how, this is based on web analytics
And are very likely under reporting Linux uses as a lot of web browsers just report they are windows especially privacy focused ones. I know mine does and I am just using Firefox.
our computer shop just started a $35 out the door 120gb ssd special with arch linux on gnome preinstalled that sells like hotcakes most of the machines coming in are windows 8 or older hardware so perfect match
most are happy without microsoft and libreoffice so far has been enough with aur repositories filling in what else is needed
windows could never compete with the hardware requirements
Adobe apps are the only thing holding out for me to potentially go full Linux. I’m not holding my breath for proper usable support for a professional capacity
So in the graph you can see how windows lost some market share, macOS is the winner in that and all the others incl Linux are unaffected.
