According to Statcounter, Windows 11 held a 55.18% market share in October 2025. That share dropped to 53.7% in November and dropped again in December. Now, Windows 11 holds a 50.73% market share.

Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

Well, Bazzite has it pre-installed, but that's the experience for other stuff lol.

I don't recommend mint for newbies because it comes with X11 even still.

    Probably more like it automatically installs is when you install the system but yeah.

    This isn't Debian. It has a live image that comes with Nvidia drivers so you can have these from the start too.

    I get the sentiment. That said, if you want to do "gaming", there's no way around proprietary software for the time being, since both titles and some drivers are and will continue to be proprietary.

    Regardless, running some FOSS is already better than none. So if Bazzite helps wean people off proprietary Windows, why not?
