    I also enjoy shouting “Wololo” at other people’s computers, only to have them boot into Linux unexpectedly.

    probably has to do with windows 11’s unrealistic system requirements, most computers are perfectly fine but aren’t able to update so people switch to linux since buying a new pc is not very affordable especially in the current economy

    Wait… Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?

    Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?

    At least 1% is from me. Uninstalling and reinstalling Linux 15 times in one day due to something breaking.

    So you’re telling me it is just under 12% and 6.5% of Linux users have poor privacy settings

      Sorry, can’t resist: it would not be 6.5 % of Linux users, it would be 6.5 % overall. That would mean about 54.8 % of Linux users.

      well, akshually the 6.5% have better privacy settings, as they are in a larger crowd than the 5.4% “unknown” users.
      So they are more interchangeable than the “unknown” Users

        Tell that to the large group that is now seeing Linode ads constantly with targeted advertising Mr Askshelly.

    I feel like a lot of the uptick in Linux users is probably due to the steam deck, which is good in itself but not necessarily Linux desktop users

      Would a significant portion of steamdeck users browse the Internet from it though? I found browsing too cumbersome on mine and in every case it was easier to just pull my phone out and surf that way.

        Anyone who wants to do anything besides bogstandard steam games probably will at least once or twice

        Depends how this data is gathered

        I browse the internet on my steam deck. It’d got good speakers and a good screen so I like it for watching things.

      May also be because of US aggressiveness with sanctions. Microsoft is a US company and subject to US law. Not Linux.

        I’m pretty sure it’s the same as eastern europe, where literally no one bought Windows ever and just pirated, so sanctions do nothing

        I’m from Ukraine and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone buying Windows like… ever, I guess if it’s preinstalled on laptops, but many of them were sold without OS for that reason

        Microsoft doesn’t care because that’s exactly how they made a monopoly in eastern europe’s office space before linux became popular enough

      I’ve never heard a single steam deck owner here. plus I doubt it would affect the data of a 80 million people.

        I’ve seen a couple on trains, along with myself.

        Have never seen someone using Linux in the wild

    I run GNU/Linux on all my computers except on the one I use for work because I need to run ETABS and SAP2000, I really wish I had the time and expertise to code my own structural analysis software so I could be free of these.

      I used FreeBSD as my OS on my laptop a few years ago and It’s pretty good but with the advancements and huge support that Linux gets, FreeBSD has to play a forever game of catch up. I’ll use it again someday
