Not very relevant but shouldn't tiny negative numbers (red "0.00") be "-0.00"?

Microsoft turning Windows into Internet Explorer
November 2025
Was thinking of trying Cachy cause of Lemmy talking about it, glad you see it higher than what I previously used (Manjaro).
Cachyos has slowly become my go to. It's basically just arch but with a good basic install along with a kernel and distro specific packages that are more optimised.

Love to see it!
This site won't update till tomorrow, but Steam's English Linux numbers are >2x the overall numbers (China apparently hates Linux). Going to be something like 7% for English-speaking Linux use. :)
Edit: 7.09% :)
I find it weird that China hates Linux
Harder to centralize control over the user. That's the big reason, I'd imagine.

Definitely envious of them. I can't get a stable system and I'm convinced wayland+nvidia are the culprit.
Firefox randomly crashes, steam randomly crashes, CS2 randomly crashes, plasma desktop randomly freezes (requires hardware button reset), haruna randomly crashes. I've never had a more unstable system. I'm greeted with 3 notifications of some process crashing at every boot.
I'd love to fully switch, but I cant have a system where things randomly crash like that. All this on latest Fedora KDE and I'm fairly certain I have everything needed installed from the driver side of things. On two year old hardware.
Its such a different experience from running a headless debian system.
I'm sorry to hear that! I've been having good experiences with Wayland + NVIDIA on both Ubuntu 25.10 and EndeavourOS (whatever version is the latest). There are minor annoyances, but nothing as dire as what you're describing.

Please try memtest86. I had issues that almost looked like this.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it and see if there's anything wrong there, though I don't expect it since windows works fine.

I am seeing a lot more Linux in the mainstream outside the tech bubble. It makes me happy.
