    I also enjoy shouting “Wololo” at other people’s computers, only to have them boot into Linux unexpectedly.

    So you’re telling me it is just under 12% and 6.5% of Linux users have poor privacy settings

      well, akshually the 6.5% have better privacy settings, as they are in a larger crowd than the 5.4% “unknown” users.
      So they are more interchangeable than the “unknown” Users

        Tell that to the large group that is now seeing Linode ads constantly with targeted advertising Mr Askshelly.

      I used FreeBSD as my OS on my laptop a few years ago and It’s pretty good but with the advancements and huge support that Linux gets, FreeBSD has to play a forever game of catch up. I’ll use it again someday

        This is the Linux community, I’m fairly sure people know what Sun OS is. If you’re talking about the average person, well I was speaking in jest. I could have said BSD and it wouldn’t have mattered

    Wait… Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?

    Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?

    probably has to do with windows 11’s unrealistic system requirements, most computers are perfectly fine but aren’t able to update so people switch to linux since buying a new pc is not very affordable especially in the current economy
