3% is insane.
I am not a “year of linux” huffer. The majority of the population doesn’t even know what a filesystem is, much less (for example) how to get to the BIOS setting they need to even install linux.
But 3% is absolutely a threshold for “viral social spread” amongst those that can.
It’s been moving fast. It barely moved like a decade ago
I’m surprised Bazzite isn’t higher on the list, here, it really seems like the OS I hear about whenever Linux gaming comes up.
I switched to Bazzite based on a recommendation and it’s been a fantastic OS for me (gaming and light development/home labbing) and I no longer have any desire to distro hop.
Took a bit to figure out the immutable stuff for some very niche things I needed done, but other than that ezpz
Without having tried it, I think Bazzite fits a certain user group very well, but is less suited for other users. Which is fine.
I don’t really see how it’s particularly good for homelabbing, but use whatever works for you.
Year of the Linux desktop let’s goooooooo!
Love to see it
3.2% is like 5 million active users if Steam overall has 156 million active users, but they’re likely higher than that
Some of us still duel-boot
duel-boot
Sounds dangerous! :)
That’s what happens when Windows overwrites your grub
0.15% in a month
that’s 1.8% in a year if it stays so, but it’s gonna get faster
year of the Linux desktop soon
Unsurprised to see NixOS isn’t on there. I love it, but it just doesn’t make sense for the general gaming public.
Gaben embracing Arch has been great for Arch in general. I can’t even remember the last time my Arch install crashed.
This vacation I finally decided to ditch Win for EndeavourOS, it has its quirks sometimes, but I can mostly play without issues, so refreshing to not rely on M$
Linux mint 21: loses a little
Linux mint 22: wins a little
my brother in christ. they just updated their pc
3% is insanely high for those of us who remember the early 2000s. I am loving this.
