You’ve heard the “prophecy”: next year is going to be the year of the Linux desktop, right? Linux is no longer the niche hobby of bearded sysadmins and free software evangelists that it was a decade ago! Modern distributions like Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, and Linux Mint are sleek, accessible, and — dare I say it — mainstream-adjacent.
Linux is ready for professional work, including video editing, and it even manages to maintain a slight market share advantage over macOS among gamers, according to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey.
However, it’s not ready to dethrone Windows. At least, not yet!
More irrelevance about desktop market share in a world where soon almost nobody will have a desktop computer.
Yeah, sure. I heard that prediction for 15 years now and still everyone and their grandma has a PC. Might not be a tower but a laptop instead, but the PC isn’t going anywhere.
I know many, many people who don’t have a PC at all, phones are usually enough for most.
