Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven't switched is OEM and software support.

Full of optimism. But why those points that relate not in the slightest to the layman? Also sources for half of your points?

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, no, I'm sure it's about to go from less than 10% market share to over 50% in one year. 🙃

Office and Adobe Web native apps? What sources do you have?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
