It really comes down to if you are trying to use newer hardware or not. Debian based systems usually run fine out of the box on older systems.

For newer hardware your going to want new drivers and kernel versions which you get with a rolling release distro.

I’ve been trying fin Droid which works well but it’s definitely a work in progress.

This is reported as a percentage and that’s what is tripping people up here.

You are not seeing a drastic rise in Linux usage you are seeing a large decrease in the use of desktop computers.

Linux is increasing because the only ones left using desktops are Linux users.

I mean that is true but there is some nuance.

At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.

They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.

The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.

Windows decline has nothing to do with any of the actual features.

It is declining because fewer people are buying PCs anymore. Every one is using a mobile device or tablet.

This is also the reason they are squeezing windows harder to make up for the down turn.

Care to elaborate?

I use the app from the AUR and I don’t think I’ve had a single problem in 3 years.

You might say he was very svelte

The word cancelled has lost all meaning.

Funny you say that ah

For real though I use a down stream arch distro.

Installing arch manually is a good learning experience but I’ve got other things to do.

I understand it’s not for everyone but I jumped ship to Linux 10 years ago or so. The defining moment was me disabling Cortana only to have her reappear after an update.

At least with Linux when I’m fighting the OS it doesn’t feel like the OS developers are fighting back.

The idea is good I think but the implementation has only ever caused me problems and seems to have a bunch of frustrating edge cases.

I go there to buy Nintendo games because I don’t trust Nintendo not to do weird crap with their digital goods.

Except when it comes to SSDs.

Under some work loads they just get chewed to bits long before they are obsolete.

It took me a while to realise this because by the time I learned about Debian they were already well into the secondary characters.

My favorite part remains naming the unstable release “sid”.
