Is this the century of Linux?
That could actually be a reasonable view, considering Windows has fallen off since the late 90's or early 00's, depending on what version you draw the line on.
To be fair, it is pretty hard to keep increasing your market share when you get closer and closer to 100%.
But yes, 2000 or XP was the last respectable version of Windows. Maybe Win7, but I never used it.
Generally it's a sine wave: XP SP3 good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good-ish, 11... nevermind.
Windows is falling off because they missed the mobile boat.
Most people never needed a full computer. All they do is consume and a phone and iPad is more than enough for that.
The desktop market is shrinking and the steam deck is pumping Linux numbers in an increasingly smaller pond.
yeah that's the sad truth. I was watching a video yesterday about like "All creators should be on YouTube" because Instagram, Twitter, etc., will open your Patreon link logged-out in a WebView....
I'm the only one watching videos on a desktop I guess
