Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn’t know we already passed 4%.

    This is great! Now if we can only stop talking down to each other for using whatever distro you don’t like bc whatever 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m loving using diff distros, but dang if the community’s toxicity isn’t a turn off :/

      Whenever someone brings up distro wars in just remind them we’re not using windows.

        I blame developers who use discord. The interface is a mess, the company is enshitifying, and you can’t archive the past.

        It maybe easier, but I question why anyone would willingly choose it over most anything else.

        Note that this is different from being a dick about it and harassing people.

      Yeah only makes sense if you call it “desktop *NIX dominance” or maybe just “non-Windows dominance.”

    I love Linux but I wish the BSDs weren’t getting left behind.

    For the record, I really like macOS and Apple products as my “consumer” devices but all my side projects, web servers, routers, etc. run Linux. I ran FreeBSD for a long time until I got into containerization and Docker.

    Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

    What are the reasons one wouldn’t count ChromeOS? I guess I don’t know much about it, is it somehow “less Linux” than your run of the mill Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, openSUSE, etc?
