>Year of the Linux Desktop?
>>109426089What's the problem? Iti's nothing to hora about. Wake me up when it's a masonic 33%, that's when trouble starts.
>>109426102Bruv you realize its been below 1% most of the time?
>OS X>macOSAre that many Apple users still on pre-2016 versions? I don't believe any of this.
>>109426089[Giant Faggot] Who The Fuck Keeps Making Threads Like This?
>>109426102Masonic 33? How about 13?
>>109426102>May 3.81%>June 5.59%>July 7.53%That is a 97.6% relative gain from May to July. Thats almost exactly double the user base. Holy shit
>>109426112It might depend on the browser, maybe Safari says macOS but Chrome says OS X.
>>109426132There's about a million active, online Steam users using Linux right now, but that's a highly specific group of people (3.7% of users). I honestly doubt 7.5% of the world uses Linux on their desktop.
>>109426104And this is mindboggling news in comparison? Not really. And it's not entirely a good thing for linux to be so visible to normalfags. You're about to experience another round of eternal summer, or eternal september depending on who you ask.If you think it's bad now with all the rabid gamers and clueless morons that don't know how to use the AUR, it can get worse.>>10942612313 would mean confirmation of acceleration of linux adoption.
>>109426089I use Fedora, btw.
>>109426132When did the Steam Machine release again? Although I doubt it has anything to do with the increase.

>some ai slop data harvester 3000 starts using loonix ua>waow guys we are really there in one month guys millions of people moved to linux trust me guys so trvke and real
>>109426189End of June, but so many Goyfluencers are talking about Linux right now + the Steam Machine hype. I don't think the Deck or Machine makes a huge difference, it's just all the hype around it, despite being so expensive.
>>109426210FreeBSD is a meme OS used by Sony to power their PS4 and PS5. Zero donations, zero code contributed back to the project by the way.
>>109426089/g/tards will tell me with a straight face that 7.5% of the world is using Linux because statscounter of all snakeoils is telling them so
>>109426219>desktop >data center
>>109426228>I only trust data that fits my narrativelol
>>109426239Yes, StatsCounter really went inside people's homes and counted if their desktops had Linux on it
>>109426228>7.5%This is the global average on desktops. Of course there are countries with lower numbers, but this USA for example (picrel)You have to realize that PCs are dying and the remaining people are gaymers and people at work, the fraction of PC enthusiasts will swtich to Linux and normalfags always used phones and tablets.
>[Panic] RIP Windows????>[Holy Shit] Year of the Linux DesktopAre these some kind of AIjeet bots farming 4chan posts? So cookie cutter.
>>109426264China skews the global desktop market towards Windows.
>>109426264PC enthusiasts jumping ship to linux would cause normalfag gravitation towards it given time and ease-of-use as the years go by.>>109426269Perhaps it could be one (1) person doing the posting? OP is traditionally known as a faggot after all. Things don't have to be so complicated.
>>109426281Frankly I always found it ironic that the chinese would pirate windows instead of having the government mandate they only use a homegrown OS.
>>109426269Just ironic, because all those /g/ and /v/tards are spamming it recently *le [sad news]*, *le [day ruined]*.
>>109426195[Go Back] You Should Go Back To Your Social Media Website
[Oh no], /g/ is getting Square bracket pilled Can't wait to see it on Xitter next week. Thanks Japan
>>109426269it's the same sanjeet always making twitter screencap threads
>>109426470-100 izzat
>>109426089Steambox shouldnt count
>>109426112>>109426157yeah it's definitely this. when I try to log in to gmail or other stuff I am getting an email with login data, it says OS X even though I'm on 26
>>109426483I think the majority of steam machine users won't use the desktop mode, so they will likely never trigger the statcounter.js on websites.
>>109426240>the fucking moron doesn't know that statcounter is a well known scam site operating out of a secure mailbox in an industrial park in ireland>that relies 100% on scraping user-agents using javascripts that statcounter pay site admins to embedded in many websites>very same scripts that are blocked by ublock origin and noscriptincredibly reliable figures. totally trustworthy and do not smell of curry and incompetence at all
>look insideit's india. everytime.
>>109426524>incredibly reliable figures. totally trustworthy and do not smell of curry and incompetence at allYou are right, there is definitely a curry scent. MS is probably paying statcounter, the 23% unknown just vanished. Windows was at 60% last month and suddenly is over 70% again.Do you have better sources?
>>109426524>>very same scripts that are blocked by ublock origin and noscriptNot true. statcounter.js can see your user-agent, even with UBO enabled, tested on Chrome and Librewolf. Unless you use a user-agent switcher.
>>109426175It might be a little bit inflated from botting (statcounter pulls from useragents) but I wouldn't be surprised. Windows 11 turned several generations of PC's into e-waste overnight, let alone how bad it is in general.
>>109426175I heard some European countries switched to Linux so it's likely that there are a lot more non gaming desktops running Linux. I mean OSX sitting on 2.21% on Steam, but their statcounter usage is much higher. I don't think gayming is a good metric.
>>109426089This changes everything....
According to loonix troons Statcounter doesn't matter.
>>109426225That's what the cuck license gets you.
>>109426362[Everyone Including Me Is Retarded Here] 4chan Is A Social Media Website
Boy, that cachyOS sure is an overnight success. I hope nothing bad happens to AUR or anything.
Doesn't count the fact that the BSDs are forced to spoof their web browser user agents, since some sites will refuse to serve them.
>>109429080ComfyOS
>>109426089It's AI bots not real users.
>>109429341NOOO. Those are real Gnu/Linux users! Why are Apples and Windows so afraid of penguins and gnus?
>>109429080CachyOS doesn't use AUR, retard.

But trusted packages are fine.
>>109430085>I would like to go back to Windows but my standards became too big on Linux.holy based anon, I'm in the same boat. Sometimes I have FOMO, but then I realize that Windows sucks ass
US is more impressive. 11% on Linux, up from 3.7% in May.Worldwide is kinda irrelevant since it doesn't matter what latinx/africans/etc. use
>>109429451it literally ships with software to make use of it
>>109426089I think i'm already about a year using linux. For every day use it's a perfectly fine system. I only play old games so it made me leave windows faster. I still have a desktop with windows 10 that i turn it on when i need or once a month to keep the ssd alive and update defender. I kinda need because shit like microsoft teams is bitch to use on browser or phone, work and college still use this crap to talk with you.
>>109429080Didn't know Linux was so popular in Mexico.
>>109430283It does, it adds up to the total number of users, hardware scenarios, reported bugs, etc.
>>109430521What thirdies do/use is irrelevant since there's no profit incentive
>>109430536That's impressively stupid, I think the diabetes finally reached your brain.
>>109430606The truth hurts sometimes.
>>109430521I respect brown or thirdie linux users, thanks for your support homie.
>>109429451>CachyOS>Arch based>Arch>AUR>Arch User RepositoryHoly retard batman.
>>109430631You're barely cognitive at this point, Brantley.
>>109430737CachyOS won't install AUR packages via pacman, but it does provide tools like paru or aura to install AUR packages. If you do not deliberately install from the AUR then you are safe from malicious AUR packages.
>>109431118none of the arch based distros install aur packages with pacman lol
>>109431118Same with Arch: >>109431147 you have to literally go out of your way to enable the AUR in Arch. Anyone that got malware from using the AUR simply didn't read the "cavet empor" warning about using AUR scripts over compiling themselves.
>>109430536Linux is free retard.
>>109431262>Linux is free retard.absolutely correct, that's a very good description of lunix
>>109426102Going from 1% to 5% in the global market is a lot. That's a lot of machines, anon.
>>109430085>Windows suddenly becomes even more shittier (tpm requirement on LTSC)What the fuck are you talking about retard, stop falling for clickbait articles
everyone switch to freeBSD so we can get it up to 1%
