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. - deleted by creator 
- 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. 
 
 
- 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. 
- 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 
- 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.
