Linux Desktop reaches New All time high. 4.45%(+0.4) 📈🐧

7.14% unknown!

The year of Plan 9 on the desktop!

Sorry but Linux is becoming too mainstream for me now. Time to hop on to BSD

Windows 11 is a strong motivator. I suspect like many other people, the only reason I was keeping Windows around was gaming. But thanks to Proton and the Steam Deck, the number of games in my library that won’t run on Linux is vanishingly small. I deleted my Windows partition a few months ago and haven’t looked back.

Install Linux or buy a Mac, fuck Windows.

FREEBSD >0.009% RAAAAAH 👹👹👹💪💪💪💪💪🦾🔥🔥🔥

im doing my part 💪

switched to arch a week or so ago, absolutely loving it

Time to speak to our representatives to switch to Linux Systems as Switzerland did for cyber security and for fiscal responsibility.

We must not fall behind that smart country once again.

Il feels like every month that passes Linux keeps breaking all time highs! So exciting

Microsoft's advertising campaign for people to switch to Linux is working great.

YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

Nobody using TempleOS? =(

THE LORD NEEDS NO NETWORKING!!! THE LORD IS THE NETWORK!

It is 16% in India, lessgo!

Is someone kind enough to post a screenshot of the stats? I can't access it, because its a known tracking site and get blocked by the plugins.

I'm so happy.

But also liked when linux felt like a secret.

Microsoft finally did something right: they made their shitty product shitty enough for people to realize it.

Cool. My wife switched to LMDE yesterday, so that's one more into the fold.

soon we will reach the magic number companies need to finally consider supporting Linux for once

At this rate the Year Of Linux On The Desktop will be 2033!!!

The crowdstrike failure is probably helping Linux.

So like 6% if you class ChromeOS as Linux (which it essentially is, just with a proprietary DE)

Then 7% unknown, you'd imagine a disproportionate amount of those would be Linux users, who are more likely to have unusual useragents or things that mess with telemetry. But who knows.

That FreeBSD club looks pretty good. There's a niche for every niche.

Thank you Windows 11!

Hmm is this really happening so fast? It's a little hard to believe.

I understand you're excited, but aren't you overdoing it a bit?

I have been dual booting for some time now. Come back to windows 10 for gaming. But then I suddenly realize that the blizzard games that I play can run on Linux, and even from the same folder with the NTFS partition. I was stunned. No notable performance difference either.

I recently shows my mum that have an old Core 2 Duo that it can run Linux Mint. She said it works, and the computer shutdowns directly when I tell it to do. No more updating windows to wait for before unplugging the power cable. Still have to dual boot Windows 10 for Microsoft Office Word document compatibility and Google Picasa.

She also just have bought a new computer with Windows 11, could barely make it through the installation. So many questions and configuration needed to get rid of ads and popups in Edge. Need to evaluation Mint more before I try to dual boot it on this machine as well.

Are steamdecks getting counted in this?

In my head it’s like half a percent, 4.45% seems huge.

Would be interesting to know how much of that the steam deck is

9 crossposts is crazy

Why is it OS X but Windows doesn't specify which number?

How far down are PC sales in general though?

Is it that more people are buying Linux, or fewer Windows customers are buying new computers at all?

A few years ago, you'd have households with a laptop for every member of the family. Now with tablets and phones doing so much of the heavy lifting, many families are dropping to just 1 Windows or Mac laptop that mostly gathers dust.

nice

I'm actually gearing up to convert all of my Windows machines to Linux once the updates for 10 stop coming. This will be especially easy once the new WINE gets integrated and the few windows game apps that I use can run well on Linux.

How do I hide which OS I am using? What is behind the high Unknown number?

Is the data of specific distros available somewhere ?

Cool

We are so back

I wonder if it is higher. Think about all the people using Librewolf

To the moon!!! ┗(°0°)┛ ..○

This is the year!

Time for me to go FreeBSD i guess

i didn't need this date; i already knew this because the number of people coming up to me on the street and telling me they use Linux btw unprompted has increased noticeably.

[joke] That must be my friend's laptop. [joke]

Best still rare even though potentially very user friendly and accessible.

FFS! CHROMEOS IS F***ING LINUX, G** D***IT, WHYYY YOU DO THIS, IT'S LINUX, C***** ON A BIKE!
