Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.

      Linux desktop has basically become the Be-so-good they-can’t-ignore-you man

        It helps that Microsoft has been alienating their customers and set high bars for OS upgrades.

          This is definitely a major reason. Windows 11 forces TPM 2, random hardware requirements that make no sense, and is objectively a downgrade from windows 10 (like every other windows version always is). Since Windows 10 is two years out from EoL and all major Linux distros have gotten so much better… might as well upgrade while you can still go back to 10 should you need to, before you have to be on Linux or throw out a bunch of otherwise fine computers.

        Linux gets better and and Windows gets worse.

        Meanwhile Macs still cost a God damn fortune and you still can’t repair them.

        Speaking of…Lenovo announced the Legion Go handheld. Can we put Linux on it?

            I bet someone will leak a prototype and the GitHub will be up and public before it launches. That seems to be the latest trend for people trying to make headlines on tech.

          It’s very likely. But why buy a Lenovo handheld? They are shit at customer service, they are terrible at updating their software, they preferably don’t contribute back to Linux. I have a fabulous Lenovo tablet that was updated once, and the update was shit, a terrible experience, they didn’t release the source code to build the required kernel modules for it to be usable. The firmware had to be modded as hell to prevent it to be a very expensive brick.

      Not until you can actually choose it. Think if you could in the store see Linux Desktop to buy and to try out.

      What if EU forced computer manufactures to install both OS, Windows and Linux Desktop, and you had to choose during the first boot what you want to use. Trust me, the that will change the numbers, just because of all who picked the wrong one by mistake.

      Is it for me this year. Both the main and couch gaming rigs are on Linux now. Glad to be free
