Every education institution and every company I know exclusively run win 10 or 11. That's thousands of computers with that OS.

I've seen 11 in use by many people in my personal life and by many businesses. I go to many businesses for work, and whenever I see a computer, it's pretty much all 11. Home computing is mostly smartphones and tablets these days, so businesses and schools are going to be most of the numbers realistically.

overwhelmingly majority runs shitblows 11

What company would willingly still be on 10? It might not yet be completely EoL, but it's coming, and any company that hasn't even started the migration to 11 yet is just negligent at this point imo

My company runs almost exclusively on 10. We have a planned migration and are staged. But until we need to we are avoiding 11 until absolutely necessary because it has led to instability on any system we've been forced to migrate.

All because our clients do not allow remote access from Linux, otherwise we'd be on a Debian build our internal only computers run.

I wouldn't be surprised if the websites that statcounter are using are shit like Microsoft's KB articles or LinkedIn and GitHub. I also wouldn't be surprised if when people move away from Windows they stop visiting some these common sites that are being counted.

All the computers at my local library run 11 now.

Plus, pretty much every new PC sold these days has 11 on it, and very few of those buyers are going to go to the trouble of replacing it with anything else.

I haven’t seen anyone running W10 in years

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago

Its so bad. Broke things at work a couple of times. Like basic stuff like teams not working, installs needing to be fixed, and the anti shutdown issue a month or so ago.

because more people are using windows 11 or because less people are using windows 10?
