A 1 year increase in market share from 3.18% to 4.55% is not a 1.37% increase, it’s a 43% increase!
Dang, up a percent in a year? That actually is pretty notable for Linux. I know it’s gotten easier to install and use (easier distros), but could this be more a shift to mobile over windows or macos?
Statcounter separates Linux Desktop from Android/mobile and ChromeOS
I think after we got the steam deck, the popularity of gaming on Linux grow a lot and continues to.
- Windows have gotten annoying with ads and privacy that people are jumping to Linux.
The deck also demonstrates that gaming is very viable on the OS. It was a major gap for massive number of people before proton (the compatibility software, not Proton privacy - no confusion intended)
I finally made the switch recently. Windows kept getting worse, and worse, and worse. Every day I felt like I had to fight it more to just do anything. I’ve been mainly a Windows user my entire life and I just couldn’t stand to use it any more.
I couldn’t be happier. Every game I play on steam just works. I’m installing mods and updating config files deep in the magical proton depths and it just works. A clean install of the operating system is actually a clean place to start. I’m telling everyone I know.
Title needs an update to include “desktop”. Linux market share is much, much, higher.
I really want to switch to Linux, but i just can’t find a way to make my headset work. I’ve tried everything: Fedora, Arch, PopOS, etc… :( i’m stock with Windows for now.
I dunno if I can help, but what kind of headset?
Steelseries Nova 7x, no linux distro recognizes it as an input or output device
Sounds like you want PipeWire - not related to a specific distro.
Linux is gonna 5% this year
