I walked away from Windows after they rolled out that 365 bs. And that was before all the pedo vax geo engineering horrors were known about Gates. Linux has been as good if not better than Windows.
About time.....put linux on a serious gamer machine and just watch it fly....
I have often run nearly 100 tabs on an Alienware....and seen no drop in speed.
Slow and steady. By 2100, could hit 8%.
My upstairs computer is Windows 11 Pro.
My basement computer (the one I am using right now) is Linux Mint 22.1.
I have a degree in computer science. All my several computers are Linux based.
To me it is the difference between needing a calculator to do 2+2=4 and writing it out on paper and explaining it to teach someone.
Windows written by people like me, presumed y’all to be idiots.
Windows financial success proves that. We got richer and y’all didn’t learn a darned thing.

I’ve been desktop onboard for at least 7 years.
I still have some legacy boxen/laptops [dual boot for the laptops] for reasons, but am NOT going back.
Others in the household have gone to Apple [Me too for my hand-me-down phones and a hand-me-down tablet].
Well, let’s be fair here, that survey also hits a lot of IoS and IoT installations - raspberry pis, ESP32s, etc.
I’ve got two main Win11 computers running in my house, two macOs computers (really love how the Macbook Air and a MacMini can share a keyboard/mouse), and 4 raspberry pis - since the main raspberry pi handles most public traffic throughout the house, all 4 of those computers show up on the survey as Pis.
A second pi scrapes data for weather, a third handles most of the streaming traffic in and out of the house, and a 4th pi manages mostly local storage and the VPNs - which means each cell phone comes in as a Pi desktop as well (well, 3 instances of the same pi...)
An actual survey of users would provide much more useful data.

Thanx for sharing your perspective
I have always been a windows guy, but I have done some work with Linux Server.
at least I pretty much only run server skus which are much nicer and more private than the stupid win11 stuff
“To me it is the difference between needing a calculator to do 2+2=4”
trying to use a calculator to do that always confuses me.
I always try to enter both numbers then do the desired operation.
I wonder what the share of RPN users is today
Has Netcraft confirmed it?
Are you still using Pop!_OS?
If so, is it on a System76 computer, or your own?
Yup. Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
If so, is it on a System76 computer, or your own?
It's on a System76 Oryx Pro.
Thanks to SteamOS most likely.
There are still things that Linux cannot do that Windoze does, but Linux would suffice for many people if they would give it a chance. If someone would come out with an “actual” Linux desktop I bet it would take off.
I like that Linux has no subscription fee. It’s version of Word and Excel are all I really use for the most part. I dont see the diff.
