I have been to some shady pubs and nightclubs in my life, non of them had so much violent people as a linux bugreport thread.

And people wonder why Linux has never gained large marketshare

[-] Perroboc@lemmy.world 97 points 1 year ago

Oh, for sure. Windows marketshare never drops only because of its friendly community.

But it's on your phone, it's powering most websites including this very lemmy instance, it's on Steam Decks. Linux is everywhere. But if you want to narrow it down to desktop computers then sure, it doesn't have anywhere near the marketshare windows has.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

People generally mean consumer facing products when they talk about market share. In particular I was commenting on how many Linux communities are still obsessed with the idea that desktop Linux will win out over Windows

[-] Geert@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Android is basically Linux. But I don't see many communities obsessing over it, the 'year of the linux desktop' thing has been a meme for decades.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ya know that’s a fair point about the phones. But as far as desktop I still see lots of posts about how Linux is “taking over” the (desktop) gaming space. Most of which ignore the real reasons people don’t use Linux (again, on desktop) (the community, the difficulty of setup, the inertia, etc)

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Most Linux fanboys don't think Linux will ever truly overtake Windows, just that it has the potential to cut into their market share.

Every server in the world that does anything useful runs Linux. It's going just fine.

Even friggin Microsoft Azure runs on Linux

A new adoptor doesnt have to deal with bug report hate comments though

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
