A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sharing here because of the post from 14 hours ago.

In my case, I thought I could survive a few weeks on a Surface with a fresh Windows install because I'd been planning to sell it. Now that it's turning into my daily driver with no real end in sight (and with all my thumb drives packed away), I have Yet Another Flash Drive™ arriving this evening so I can go back to KDE precisely because of this sort of bullshit.

Maybe in the West where people can afford Macs.

Your point is only valid for paid statistica subscribers, apparently. The rest of us have no idea what point you're trying to make.

Right below the unlabeled graph is this very relevant text :

The share of Linux in the desktop operating system market across India was about 8.51 percent in the month of December 2022. This figure represents a significant increase in the market share of Linux since August 2020.

Thank you for that. I always navigate away as soon as I see a paywall because that usually indicates that the entire page will be a complete waste of my time.

That's first time that I've seen useful information below a paywall button.
