In all seriousness it’s very exciting, I just don’t need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol
We got it? Nice… Gotta go and make a meme about it.
Look…I use Linux. I love Linux. But let’s be honest. That 4 percent is largely due to the steam deck; a gaming handheld where the vast majority of users don’t know (or care) what operating system it uses as long as they can play their steam games on the go.
That’s not “year of the Linux desktop”, because it’s not a desktop. It just has one hidden under the hood if you want to dig past the steam layer (which, as I said…the vast majority of users never will)
The year of the Linux desktop won’t arrive until there is sufficient market share that software manufacturers are inclined to support us natively. That won’t happen with a gaming handheld because no one would want to use a gaming handheld as a daily driver.
Sorry to be a wet blanket, folks. Downvote away…
Thats like calling MacOS and Playstation rises the “year of the BSD desktop”
Change my mind.
Ok, compile some code on your PlayStation
Folding at home?
Contrary to the idea that most of these new users come from steam decks, I’ve had 3 of my friends switch to or at least partially use linux. We are certainly growing.
