I am one of the converts from this year, still on Windows for work, but my personal set up is all Linux now. I went with Linux Mint and the transition has been seamless.
When has Microsoft started enforcing that mandatory online account bullshit in Windows installer? Was it like 3 years ago? I’ve had 4 computers with Windows in my home. Now it’s just 1, the other 3 have been running Linux since then because I’m fucking sick and tired of always looking up those dumbass bypass methods. I’m only dealing with Windows on last one because of gaming. And honestly, can’t wait the day I can migrate that one to Linux full time too. Unfortunately it’s not there yet for me.
It’s crazy how fast that day is coming though. Seriously wild how quickly things have changed for Linux and Gaming.
Gen Z / Alpha tend to be quite in tune with the latest tech trends… Linux is pretty much the only choice out there that allows one to retain control and opt out of AI slop.
Holy
You know when we said it’s the year of
wait people are still using os x??
My money’s on such a jump just being AI bots using headless browsers.
I don’t know exactly what’s going on. But I do know that 3.5% to 10.5% in a few months is so beyond anything ever observed before, the notion that this is users adopting Linux over Windows/Mac cleanly and organically severely strains my credulity.
I did get kind of carried away creating so many LXCs and VMs in Proxmox between then and now…
