Linux marketshare is now big enough to fit tux inside the chart! We did it!

It's the year of the Linux desktop

[–] humiddragonslayer@piefed.social 16 points 18 hours ago

It's funny to think there are already teenagers born in a year of the Linux desktop

ChromeOS always disturbs me. Is there a 2.4% out there casually watching porn on side with their chromebooks during highschool geometry?

And why they switching to linux?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 15 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Surely there are people who bought Chromebooks for college? Or boomers who bought the $245 Chromebook instead of the $285 Win10S manufactured ewaste laptop?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Also probably some folks who bought a Chromebook in bulk from a school for pennies on the dollar.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Those are cheap and rugged. I bought a reconditioned Chromebook Think Pad for $30. I want to put Linux on it. But I haven't found my 'roundtoit yet.

That's the winning hypothesis, dumpster diving gooners.

chromebooks during highschool geometry

Nah, most of the school equipment/networks are monitored/blocked to hell and back. I'm not saying they can't find loopholes, but they're severely hampered, and when they get caught, it's a big deal.

A lot of that chromeOS is people buying the cheapest hardware at Walmart and using it as their faptop.

Just like a lot of the Linux is probably steamdecks.

It's better to stay away from windows if you're having a wank.

Genuine curiosity from someone not deeply familiar with the details - what sort of operating systems fall under "Other" for desktops?

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty much everything other than TempleOS. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku OS, Redox OS, Sculpt OS etc.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine TempleOS for PH :) I'm not saying I don't think it happens ... but the irony.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Well, technically it's not possible since OS doesn't have network connection. At least unless someone learns C† and implements network connection into it. If Terry said it would be complicated, it's probably a hard task. :)

[–] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So if anyone does manage to hack TempleOS to have an internet connection, they probably earn the right to wank freely without losing the right to go to heaven right?

That's... something I wasn't expecting. :)

Inadvertently contributed to this statistic lol

Frustrating that you can't even get to the pornhub press pages and look at the year in review without hopping on VPN if you're in a restricted area. I feel like Cherie Deville with her PSA on the block page might technically be the most viewed model on there now.
