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
Also- post-Covid supply chain is still tighter than it used to be especially for GPUs thanks to ChatGPT etc.
lmfao that is the least of our worries believe me
Yeah people trying to play CS:GO on Linux and shit
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” UsersTell that to the large group that is now seeing Linode ads constantly with targeted advertising Mr Askshelly.
Sorry, can’t resist: it would not be 6.5 % of Linux users, it would be 6.5 % overall. That would mean about 54.8 % of Linux users.
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)?

Good to hear that the government is using it.
Taxpayer-funded activities should run on FOSS when possible, in my opinion.

Yeah, what happened in India to the Windows/Unknown section in April and May 2023?

HW price is sucks in many place arround the world rn… I always think, 2nd hand thinkpad will only be my option…
Also, you gotta be careful with macproducts some places.
Especially if they have export controls (Doubt turkey does, being nato,).They might have import tariffs though - like Brazil and Argentina.
Even just paying the extra VAT on imports is painful in Sweden (25%).
well, if it’s your personal mac and you’ll be taking it with you, it’s difficult to see import taxes being a necessary thing.
It’s more the… if a group of people can’t get “good” hardware because of export controls … legally… some might take a shine to yours.
To be fair, Linux percentage jumped after many programmers fled to Turkey from Russia.
Finally a proud material about my country 😅
Is Pardus still a thing, arkadash?
yes it is but unfortunately its not widely used by govt PCs and i dont want to use it since its from a govt organisation kardeş ;)
At least 1% is from me. Uninstalling and reinstalling Linux 15 times in one day due to something breaking.
Y’all need some BTRFS love 😎

I still got data loss.

I use it w Timeshift works amazing. I do however use ZFS for all my server storage.
I feel like a lot of the uptick in Linux users is probably due to the steam deck, which is good in itself but not necessarily Linux desktop users
Would a significant portion of steamdeck users browse the Internet from it though? I found browsing too cumbersome on mine and in every case it was easier to just pull my phone out and surf that way.
I browse the internet on my steam deck. It’d got good speakers and a good screen so I like it for watching things.
Anyone who wants to do anything besides bogstandard steam games probably will at least once or twice
Depends how this data is gathered
May also be because of US aggressiveness with sanctions. Microsoft is a US company and subject to US law. Not Linux.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same as eastern europe, where literally no one bought Windows ever and just pirated, so sanctions do nothing
I’m from Ukraine and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone buying Windows like… ever, I guess if it’s preinstalled on laptops, but many of them were sold without OS for that reason
Microsoft doesn’t care because that’s exactly how they made a monopoly in eastern europe’s office space before linux became popular enough

You’ve seen one now.
I’ve seen a couple on trains IRL, along with myself.
Have never seen someone using Linux in the wild

I run GNU/Linux on all my computers except on the one I use for work because I need to run ETABS and SAP2000, I really wish I had the time and expertise to code my own structural analysis software so I could be free of these.
Are the people with “unkown” using Sun OS?
I don’t think anybody here knows what Sun OS is, most people don’t know what OS is
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
Sorry i meant Turkey not this community
Poor FreeBSD :( I think we had that in my university…
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
whats freebsd
misinformation, templeos has 100% market share as god intended
Worldwide it’s:
Android 40.16% Windows 28.59% iOS 16.8% OS X 8.97% Chrome OS 1.74% Unknown 1.43%Europe:
Windows 35.17% Android 35.01% iOS 18.93% OS X 7.02% Linux 1.42% Unknown 1.14%USA:
Windows 35.64% OS X 20.59% iOS 18.93% Android 15.69% Chrome OS 4.94% Xbox 2.15%Worldwide and USA have Linux missing. Europe has Chrome missing.
I presume they’re effectively 0… those are straight off the statcounter site.
