How accurate are these measurements? I don't know much about Norway, but if there was some massive roll-out of Linux in the governmental sector or their school system, surely there would be posts about it here?
Edit: I'm just having a hard time believing such high numbers without something like that.
I wish there were more focus on the desktop and app gui side of things on Linux
sure using the terminal to install things is very efficient but some people just want an install button and a gui that they don't have to use more than 2 braincells to figure out why package not found or some obscure error with an app for the next 2 hours with forum pages full of condescending non answers
I can't vouch for every Linux distro that claims to be user-friendly, but I've fully switched to Linux Mint a couple of months ago, and I've had no issues. The only times I've used the console are when I want to use it.
My biggest worry before fully switching was playing pirated games, or games that I bought outside of Steam, but using Lutris it has been pretty straight forward.
You know, charts can lie, but with THAT crosshatch? Impossible.
Why do you all want to rule the world? Just let people who like windows enjoy it... Jesus christ.
look at the culture and mindset which Windows™ breeds.
For a democracy to work it's people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.
I am wondering, what is enjoyable about Windows/Microsoft?
The slow & buggy UI?
The blue screens due to crappy drivers or bc they fucked something up?
The way they erase any customisability, essentially forcing their users to adapt their vision of how a computer should be operated?
How they are coming up with great ideas such as taking system snapshots and having AI analyze them?
The updates that randomly decide to install and then take an eternity with the end user not being able to use their PC whilst an update is taking place?
The 10.000 different ways of updating software?
How they are blatantly ripping off features whilst marketing them as their own ideas?
The way they are turning it more and more into an advertising platform for their own products?
The $139.00 license fee for everything I just mentioned?
Like, the only enjoyable thing I can think of is software availability but thanks to WINE / Proton this advantage is becoming less and less relevant.
Of all countries Norway might be among the last to switch to Linux.
Rich countries tend to go the apple way.
It might surprise you to learn that Apple is not dominating the market here, neither in phones or laptops.
When I think about it, I only really know one person with a Macbok and at work, Android is probably 2/3. Source: I’m the IT guy ordering phones for everybody.
noice
This cannot be true. The dip in windows is corrolated with the increase in linux. Its just a measurement error
The dip in windows is corrolated with the increase in linux
Well, yeah? The users have to come from somewhere?
Its just a measurement error
Maybe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
