I could never get Arch to install correctly. Then again it was on a Microsoft HyperV so there may have been some compatibility issues there. I dunno I'm not that smart.

@coolboymew 3% is still pretty damn low though but given the low amount of machines shipping with linux I'd say it's pretty good.

Honestly after a while you just get tired of trying to do shit yourself. You end up having to learn so many systems just to test them out and discover they are garbage that it isn't worth the effort anymore. Sooner or later you realize that there are other things you would rather spend your time on than some operating system that some guy online won't stop badgering you to try.

Still doesn't hurt to learn a little bit about electronics. Being able to read schematics, translate that into a workable circuit, and preform basic multi-layer soldering is a useful skill.

@coolboymew @coldacid steamdeck absolutely the biggest draw on what grew linux's share, even if it's still just video games. erm, well besides people leaving after microshaft :microsoft: making 11 somehow even more horrid than 10.I do like to imagine that more and more people are considering using linux as their primere platform of choice after getting a taste of it on the deck- but I'm not sure if it's big enough to actually makes waves in tech in general. experience with talking with and playing with gamers has taught me they're very, very retarded; go to /v/ and see a linux thread and you'll ask the "derrr lincuck cant even play games" crowd how to install steam from package manager is and they instantly shut down.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew The numbers are based off the useragents of normies who visit normie sites.It will never be "the year of the Linux desktop", as Linux is only a kernel and doesn't operate on its own.The year of the GNU/Linux desktop was 1993 or so, as finally you could use a computer in freedom again.The GPLv3 doesn't forbid digital handcuffs, it's just that you must provide the user with everything they need to break the handcuffs (the source code and any signing keys required for a modified executable to run) and so no company I know have has tried to handcuff GPLv3'd works.The GPLv2 doesn't forbid digital handcuffs either, it's just that you must provide the source code and any scripts required to turn a binary into an executable (if the only way to achieve that is to include a signing key in the scripts, you have to include that) and install it; "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable." it's just that most people don't seem to have the wit to realize that an executable is a binary that will *execute* and rms would have written "installation of the object code." if he meant that he was okay for modified software to not run.Rather than bother with trying to enforce that part of the GPLv2 (as good luck getting a judge who has only ever used iphones to understand what an executable is), the FSF just encourages upgrading to the GPLv3 - which has less restrictions and makes it crystal clear what is required.

@airfoils @coolboymew considering that macOS is around 10-15%, I wouldn't mind lolIt would be a good pace for "organic" growth.Only way I see Linux installs increasing at a faster rate is if Microsoft dropped the ball REALLY hard, even harder than Vista/8.Tho I doubt that's possible, if they can gaslight users into thinking their PCs are obsolete as with 11, they can get away with murder lolAnd anyway, even if they drop the ball, the alternative is macOS in the "normie" mind, not Linux

@kQuote03 @airfoils they are gonna drop the ball. They're planning to have everything on the cloud and you can bet your ass they're going to start nickle and diming, on top of the ads and all the crap they're currently pushing. It's not a good outlookOnce again we'll start paying monthly for nothing good or new whatsoever

@coolboymew @kQuote03 I think it'll depend a lot on how they push Windows 365 (the cloud version). Currently, it is aimed more at enterprise use, but if it becomes the only way to use windows in the short term, I could see people ditching it.Although, in my opinion, what they will probably do is slowly transition over the next couple of years and only by the end of the decade, if computers become more of a power-user thing, will they offer a cloud-only version of Windows.If this is how it pans out, Linux will probably "win" the desktop, but by then it won't be something that will matter anymore. (I pray that I'm wrong tho)
