Then go and use any of the things you are using without linux.

Lemmy? Hosted on a Linux server

Almost any major website? Linux server

Any other web service? Linux Server

The Server infrastructure that surrounds your favourite Operating System? Guess what, Linux server

So you agree that it’s jealousy that the entire world uses windows and not linux? It’s the 23rd Year of the linux desktop in a row. “Uhhhhhh but my servers…” Nobody cares. Nobody wants to get rid of Debian and RHEL. Nobody wants to use them as a Desktop.

Nobody wants to use them as a Desktop.

Except for millions upon millions of users, right? Screw those guys because they aren’t the majority.

I dunno dude. 4 Billion People use computers and millions of users spread over several distributions is not a lot.
And with the amount of gatekeeping and arguing over what is and isnt the best i would also stay far away if i didnt administer servers. Even then i use windows most of the time.

A good chunk of that 4 billion have never used anything aside from a phone as a computing device. If you widdle that number down to only desktop users the Linux marketshare jumps to about 5%.

I really wanted to be right about this and checked what i follishly spat out as fact.
Linuxs market share is about 8%, i am going to add others to linux for good measure, because it probalby is in some way.

So yeah, you’re right.
But that is still a tiny fraction compared to Windows with a not really trustworthy 74%

I forgot what the argument was about and at this point it doesnt really matter anymore. Linux users be talking about Windows a lot. Happens.

Even 3% is not insignificant. Especially when you consider that most computers come with Windows pre-installed. Imagine how that would change if Linux came pre-installed.

And those numbers really start to skew in favor of Linux when you exclude markets like China. IIRC when you exclude China for desktop marketshare stats Linux alone (not including “other”) jumps closer to 10%.

Can we also include WSL?
