Regardless of OS, I'd like to see actual user numbers with stats like this because a percentage oversimplifies the landscape.

Have people moved away from (uninstalled) Windows 11 or have people just bought computers with a different OS/older version of Windows on it. To me, these tell a different tale.

RPi5, plus a PSU, plus a storage device, plus any extra cooling, plus a case ends up about the same as an N100 without anything extra. For the extra $10 or so, the N100 ends up being the better buy.

IRL I only know of one person who uses Linux as a desktop computer.

Interestingly, I like to keep my network connected devices up to date. Why would I disable that on any OS?

For me, candy crush et al was never installed on my Windows computers by default, both on home and pro versions. There were install shortcuts, but never the actual programs themselves.

Does anyone keep a list of words/phrases used in the world and what they actually mean?

Before you ask, no, I don't watch these. I discovered these types of videos only a few months ago and was shocked at the viewer counts.

It doesn't look like they're getting offended to me.

Imagine you have a friend that you see daily. Every time you see them, they make the same joke. How quickly do you think you'll get tired of the joke?

Rich families in African countries already do this. Families have trusted drivers that they use to drive them around and send out to do errands for them.

There are people like me who would be happy to move to a new platform but there isn't a platform yet good enough to abandon the existing platform.

Eg. Lemmy and Reddit. Lemmy is good but it feels like the vast majority of people here are programmers and Linux users; until there is more variety of people here then I can't see myself giving up Reddit.

It's been like this for at least a few years using the stock Samsung OS.

Why do you believe that?

Paying Spotify and still getting adverts.

At that point I decided that Spotify wasn't for me anymore.
