I also enjoy shouting "Wololo" at other people's computers, only to have them boot into Linux unexpectedly.
At least 1% is from me. Uninstalling and reinstalling Linux 15 times in one day due to something breaking.
Y'all need some BTRFS love 😎
I feel like a lot of the uptick in Linux users is probably due to the steam deck, which is good in itself but not necessarily Linux desktop users
I have never seen a single steam deck user around. Plus I doubt It affects the 80 million population.
May also be because of US aggressiveness with sanctions. Microsoft is a US company and subject to US law. Not Linux.
I'm pretty sure it's the same as eastern europe, where literally no one bought Windows ever and just pirated, so sanctions do nothing
I'm from Ukraine and I don't think I've ever heard of anyone buying Windows like.. ever, I guess if it's preinstalled on laptops, but many of them were sold without OS for that reason
Microsoft doesn't care because that's exactly how they made a monopoly in eastern europe's office space before linux became popular enough
probably has to do with windows 11's unrealistic system requirements, most computers are perfectly fine but aren't able to update so people switch to linux since buying a new pc is not very affordable especially in the current economy
I run GNU/Linux on all my computers except on the one I use for work because I need to run ETABS and SAP2000, I really wish I had the time and expertise to code my own structural analysis software so I could be free of these.
Finally a proud material about my country 😅
Is Pardus still a thing, arkadash?
yes it is but unfortunately its not widely used by govt PCs and i dont want to use it since its from a govt organisation kardeş ;)
Poor FreeBSD :( I think we had that in my university...
I used FreeBSD as my OS on my laptop a few years ago and It's pretty good but with the advancements and huge support that Linux gets, FreeBSD has to play a forever game of catch up. I'll use it again someday
whats freebsd
misinformation, templeos has 100% market share as god intended
Are the people with "unkown" using Sun OS?
I don't think anybody here knows what Sun OS is, most people don't know what OS is
This is the Linux community, I'm fairly sure people know what Sun OS is. If you're talking about the average person, well I was speaking in jest. I could have said BSD and it wouldn't have mattered
Sorry i meant Turkey not this community
Wait... Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?
Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?
Apple products are too expensive (iphone is 8 months of minimum wage), universities are pushing Linux, some government facilities are using it(Turkey has its own distro for government see Pardus etc
Good to hear that the government is using it.
Taxpayer-funded activities should run on FOSS when possible, in my opinion.
Worldwide it's:
Android 40.16%
Windows 28.59%
iOS 16.8%
OS X 8.97%
Chrome OS 1.74%
Unknown 1.43%
Europe:
Windows 35.17%
Android 35.01%
iOS 18.93%
OS X 7.02%
Linux 1.42%
Unknown 1.14%
USA:
Windows 35.64%
OS X 20.59%
iOS 18.93%
Android 15.69%
Chrome OS 4.94%
Xbox 2.15%
Worldwide and USA have Linux missing. Europe has Chrome missing.
I presume they're effectively 0.. those are straight off the statcounter site.
So you're telling me it is just under 12% and 6.5% of Linux users have poor privacy settings
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.
