I remember back in 2012 Linux had less than 1% of desktop OS market share. Now it's 2.53%.
What happened?
>>61904536
It was 2% in 2016.
>>61904536
Systemd
I remember playing snake on my tracfone and saving up for a palm thats thicker than your dick
What happened?
>>61904536
Considering Linux owns embedded and owns mobile, the only thing left is the desktop.
>>61904605
you forgot supercomputer, mainframe, distributed, cluster and cloud computing as well as server market
>2.53%
>>61904605
Which will never happen desu
>>61904536
Windows 10 being shit, ChromeOS being distributed to normies, SteamOS being sold to the few thousand gaymurs.
Hopefully GNU will reach at least 5% market share in the next 4 years.
>>61904687
that's over 50 million desktops, satya
nice try though
>>61906069
so what? still 2.53%
>>61906100
So what? Still tens of millions of desktop installs.
>>61906100
no need to get all nutella on me now, satya
>>61904536
Linux still only has 1%.
GNU accounts for the increase.
More GNU = better desktop.
Thanks GNU.
>>61906100
That's over 1/3rd of Apple's marketshare.
Nice try though!
Back to fractional economics!
It's because ChromeOS, but is ChromeOS GNU/Linux or a different OS with the Linux kernel like Android?
>>61906248
It's a modified gentoo.
>>61904536
YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP
>>61906248
It's GNU/Linux
>>61904605
the kernel does, the *linux* OS are shit. Takes proprietary work on the linux kernel to make a usable OS.
>>61906350
But the android userland is completely usable with no proprietary additions
>>61906238
>according to the chart, linux/apple = 2.53/3.52 = 0.7
Yeah, it is over 1/3 of Apple's marketshare. It's also over 70%, on desktop. Even if you say that all operating systems under "other" are old Mac versions Linux still not under 35% of Apple's userbase.
Considering how close it is to Macs, why isn't more software developed or ported to GNU? It's actually possible for GNU to surpass Macs soon. And Linux as a platform isn't as restricted as MacOS. Why are companies not exploiting this and making more software for Linux?
>>61906248
It's Linux kernel, with chrome as it's DE. It's based on Gentoo (not even memeing). But they restricted it a lot. Kinda like how north Korea took Fedora Linux and made a locked down version of it (RedStar OS, I think).
>>61906350
Isn't ChromiumOS still a thing?
>>61904536
Windows 10.
>>61906507
come on now, it can't be that bad, can it? i mean why would normies give a fuck if microsoft is spying on their shit?
>>61906689
It's not just that. The OS feels like it is in alpha state. Things get broken all the time.
>>61904622
>cloud computing as well as server
>>>/out/
>>61906485
because freetards won't use their shit as they'll demand it be made open sores
>>61906689
Because spying services use resources. Too many resources are wasted for useless services. It downloads fucking candy crush and Minecraft in the background without asking you. It downloads updates automatically by default. The OS is basically bloated as fuck even though it had the potential to be the best performing version of windows.
It wouldn't be half as bad if Microsoft wasn't a shit company that ruins every product they have.
>>61906940
"Freetards" make up less than a fifth of Linux users. Nobody gives a fuck about non-essential software like games and media studios being close sourced. It's the vital OS components that matter.
>>61907014
This and this.

Unemployed retaed
>>61907014
if it were economically viable as you say to port software to gahnoo loonix then they would do it
clearly it is not
>>61907014
>It downloads fucking candy crush and Minecraft in the background without asking you
I see this posted on /g/ a lot but it never happened to me or anyone I know and I've been using it since it came out. At this point I'm convinced it's either a meme or it just doesn't happen on European versions of Win10.
>It downloads updates automatically by default
It's designed for normalfags, so everything is enabled by default and it's up to powerusers to disable what they don't want. If it was disabled by default no normalfag would enable it and then you have all that bullshit from the past where millions of computers get raped by some worm that uses an exploit that was patched weeks/months/years ago.
>>61906115
More like 10 million virtual machines retard
Does Ubuntu on Windows 10 count?
At that rate linux will be 50% of the market share in 975 years
>>61904536
Android
>>61908615
You'd have to go through a lot of unnecessary trouble to get a browser running in X11 on windows and get tracked by this poll for ubuntu on windows 10 to count.
>>61908739
Desktop share doesn't count android. Android has over half of the phone share anyway. And development for android isn't really compatible with desktop linux development because most of the technology is different.
>>61904536
When every year is the year of Linux, you're bound to gain some market share.

>>61906069
>that's over 50 million VMs with less than 10 minutes of usage each, satya
>>61908805
That's over 50 millions distros with 4 hours of usage each (before another distro hop), satya
>>61904536
Consumers stopped buying desktops. This is purely a denominator effect.
>>61908835
>>61908835
laptops count too
also ChromeOS happened, and a lot of children have it.
>>61904536
Intelligence is increasing. Humankind is advancing.
>>61908844
>after 20 quarters of decline
ChromeOS
>>61904536
5% when?
>>61904536
nothing! its all fake
it should be up to 67%, i use my Canon as a fucking desktop and it doesn't figure in this statics
