Linux only here.

For pushing a decade.

Wow. I didn’t understand just how much of a minority I am in. I run desktop Linux on four machines at home, all some flavor of Ubuntu. I do not own a Windows machine, but my wife has one (I must support, sigh) and my work machine is also Wormdos.

Linux has nearly half of the desktop OS Linux market

Wouldn't it have 100 percent?

"But ChromeOS, and especially ChromeOS Flex? Of course, all the advocates decry it as not being a True Linux, but then again, this just quickly descends into a "no true Scotsman" argument. As it is, the Fedora lot think Ubuntu is junk, and the Debianisti think everything else is junk, and the Arch folk think they are the true cutting edge, Slackware enthusiasts consider everyone else newbies, while the NixOS folk think all the rest are still in the stone age somewhere, and the OpenSUSE gang sing, Deutschland über alles… ®

Fixed it for them.

Do they mean Chrome or Google Chrome?

I didn't know Chrome had an OS (though I heard that both Brave and Comodo Dragon browsers are Chrome).

October 14, 2025 will be a banner day for all distributions of Linux if Microsoft goes through with ending support for Windows 10. At this point in time only around 20% of existing hardware are approved to run Windows 11. People are not tossing out older computers as much as they used to because if you are not playing graphic intensive games or editing HD video, if you upgrade an older computer with an SSD they are fine for most purposes. This will leave Linux to fill the void for a huge number of users.

That’s some painful writing right there...

Sheesh, does learning to code mean forgetting coherent English?
