I'm doing my part! (I use arch btw, among others)

I wonder if people who use Linux also decline doing the hardware survey more often than Windows users, skewing the numbers even more?

I've stopped booting into my Windows partition roughly a year ago. I don't play games with kernel level anticheat and the rest works for me. Even VR. Even on NVIDIA.

Also doing my part. Fuck Microsoft. It would have been a harder choice if Windows was, like, fast, stable, and efficient. But it's not. It's jank and AI slop. Fuck them.

I'm proud to represent part of the 5%.

Seems like it wasn't long ago they broke 4% seems to be growing very quickly

I'm doing my part! Switched from Windows 11 to Linux (Fedora KDE) earlier this month and I'm never looking back. Peace out, Jabronies. And by Jabronies, I mean the windows dev team. And also their leadership. Why was I looking at spinning loading circles in the start menu? Are they permanently high over there? How much crack did they get with breakfast?

I did the bingo game for this year and one of my bets was 6% share until end of the year :) looks like I am winning boys!

I am surprised that Debian didn't make the list under "Linux". It's all Arch, Ubuntu, and Mint. Everything I run here is Debian and MX.

That's one in nineteen people btw! Nothing to scoff at! :D

Ever on, indeed.

How much of that is from Steam Decks?

What next, demolishing the 6% barrier? "Linux desktop usage on the rise according to one specific metric" is a perfectly snappy title.
