    Serious question: you'd use that for your daily driver?

    A rare sighting of a Plan 9 user! You need to be protected at all cost! Your species is extremely rare and important for future studies.

    BTW for a moment I was upset, because I thought this is a screenshot of Reddit. I kinda like the old look of it.

    Sorry but Linux is becoming too mainstream for me now. Time to hop on to BSD

    Windows 11 is a strong motivator. I suspect like many other people, the only reason I was keeping Windows around was gaming. But thanks to Proton and the Steam Deck, the number of games in my library that won’t run on Linux is vanishingly small. I deleted my Windows partition a few months ago and haven’t looked back.

    Install Linux or buy a Mac, fuck Windows.

    Don't buy a Mac. That's more limiting than a Windows. But yeah install linux.

    More limited, but also less enshittified than Windows.

    If you want a good, well-polished experience for certain creative workloads, or even programming, MacOS is great and their Apple Silicon CPUs are excellent.

    If you want to do ANY gaming besides WoW (which surprisingly enough has always had great MacOS support) or you can't stand the lack of configurability, Linux is immediately the superior choice by far.

    Time to speak to our representatives to switch to Linux Systems as Switzerland did for cyber security and for fiscal responsibility.

    We must not fall behind that smart country once again.

    Microsoft's advertising campaign for people to switch to Linux is working great.

    I'm so happy.

    But also liked when linux felt like a secret.

    Microsoft finally did something right: they made their shitty product shitty enough for people to realize it.

    So like 6% if you class ChromeOS as Linux (which it essentially is, just with a proprietary DE)

    Then 7% unknown, you'd imagine a disproportionate amount of those would be Linux users, who are more likely to have unusual useragents or things that mess with telemetry. But who knows.

    That FreeBSD club looks pretty good. There's a niche for every niche.

    I have been dual booting for some time now. Come back to windows 10 for gaming. But then I suddenly realize that the blizzard games that I play can run on Linux, and even from the same folder with the NTFS partition. I was stunned. No notable performance difference either.

    I recently shows my mum that have an old Core 2 Duo that it can run Linux Mint. She said it works, and the computer shutdowns directly when I tell it to do. No more updating windows to wait for before unplugging the power cable. Still have to dual boot Windows 10 for Microsoft Office Word document compatibility and Google Picasa.

    She also just have bought a new computer with Windows 11, could barely make it through the installation. So many questions and configuration needed to get rid of ads and popups in Edge. Need to evaluation Mint more before I try to dual boot it on this machine as well.
