I can’t even feel superior to everyone when theirs so many arch installers!! I use real arch btw. I thought “I guess I should go to Gentoo” but then wait, CHROMEOS IS A GENTOO INSTALLER!
I feel like we only have two options now
- Ascend to BSD-land
- Ironically supporting Windows Unironically
edit: I have decided to replace my debian laptop with BSD
What universe are you living in that Linux is mainstream? According to the steam hardware survey (which is the closest thing to a trustworthy census we have for operating system usage) Linux accounts for 3.58%. Congratulations, we’re ahead of mac! Windows still has 94.23%. But this is the year of the Linux desktop!
Its a shitpost but I’ve definitely felt more people migrating over. Like if you go on reddit gaming communities a decade ago no one talked about Linux but not theirs Linux advocates people complain about. Steam deck is now a thing, LTT did a linux challenge, Pewdiepie told people to install Linux. It’s if you talk to random people on the street they probably don’t know what my bloody valentine is. But if you talk to some Music nerds and tell them yk about this niche artist called mbv they would all laugh at you
Server universe.
Savvy friend group echo-chamber universe.
Android universe.
Embedded and (pseudo(?)-)microcontroller universe.
SBC universe.
All the corporate machines secretly (or sometimes not so secretly) running Linux (Like John Deere tractors, cars, cookers, boats, etc.)… universe.
Steamdeck universe.
Linux focused laptop & workstation manufacturers universe.
PS,
I’ve heard rumours desktop linux may be passed 5-6% already, and rising fast, thanks to Win11 creating windows refugees and the steamdeck enticing more gamers.
