is this some secret stat? linux is everywhere. sounds like bullshit.

There are more than laptop/desktop markets.
There are cases where linux on laptop or desktop makes more sense than anything.

Linux does great in mobile, servers and super computers. There is more to computing than desktop you know.

>>62076249
Over 90% marketshare in internet-facing servers and smartphones. And it's found everywhere else, too, from embedded systems to supercomputers. Pretty much the only place where it isn't the most successful operating system is the desktop market.

Now that we're clear on how stupid you are, you can go back to /v/.

No. I don't care about Market Share, nor does most of the Linux community (devs included). All most people care about is that it works for THEM. If it takes over the market, that's great, but it isn't the point, and never was.

>>62076363

I don't really care about the label. Linux is a kernel, I can understand the confusion because I know the musings are common, but if someone says linux without context, I normally get what they're saying.

I don't think the point of linux is market share, but more for a well rounded open source expierence. Although commercial software exist for it, the general userbase will never care if it grows in marketshare, they use it because it works for them, and what doesn't work they view as a project. I love linux but I don't mind if it stays within a low user base.

Linux is THE most popular kernel worldwide, dumb fuck

Android alone is more popular than wankblows and then there are Linux servers, super computers, other embedded devices and mainframes.

>>62076574
you glow in the fucking dark nigger

Literally as soon as gayme development and miners get interest in Linux (dropping directx, proper drivers for hardware) it'll spike in usage by people who actually know how to computer. Gaymers and cryptoniggers (streamers too) drive a lot of that desktop market.

If MS office was replaced that's the office worker converted.

Sadly, probably will never happen.

every time libre office gets updated, they're just going to steal it and make it into microsoft shit that niggers prefer.

open sources curse. that's how microsoft is holding on. they literally take our code.

>>62076595
Bare metal C/C++ development, for me

Active Directory is another thing too. How do you control dozens of client machines in an office by serving them policies and their accounts / userdata from a central server and redundant servers? It's crucial to a lot of workplaces, especially school districts.

I may just be wrong and there could be an established way to do this, in that case I'd love to know out of curiosity.

>>62076630

MS isn't that stupid, they know they'd get caught and sued for blatant GPL violations like that.

>>62076457
It's a good idea to cut support for GNU and call the experiment a failure, only to stop retards like you putting GNU shit everywhere will be a nice reason. Linux is superior though on mobiles and supercomplucters.

>>62076630

I don't wanna be that guy, but libre office is functional, where MS office is user friendly. Also MS office has far more features (albiet, pointless) than libre office. I don't think MS office copies from libre. That's a pretty bad shot in the dark... that said, I love libre.

>>62076673
My preferences are different than most people's, I think. Office 2003 is best, followed by Libre Office 5, then everything else. I hate that ribbon shit. I spent 20 years of my life learning the old way, and have no real interest in doing shit the new way. Luckily my job doesn't require any of that shit.

>>62076660
Lol Gnu is kind of what sets the desktop apart from the kernal my friend! I understand why people get frustrated with inserting GNU into it, because its pointless. But you gotta give credit to GNU for pushing things into that direction.

Seriously? It took me less than 2 hours to figure out excel and word's ribbon design. I don't even like to use Microsoft products, but its designed to be a no-brainer. The commands are pretty consistant too. Office 2003 was great, but that ribbon design made office really easy to use.

>>62076719
I just could never be assed to bother. I know where everything is in Office 2003/Libre Office 5. If something needed to be submitted in docx exclusively (which has never happened), I would just whip it up in Office 2003 or Libre, save it as .doc, open it in Office 2007 (or whatever they have at my work), and save it as a .docx file. Done.

>>62076706

Linux has a 2.3% marketshare OS on Laptops and desktops and it is steadily gaining more in the last 5 years than ever before.

https://youtu.be/yXr8bqzf45Y

Steam supports Linux and Linux can play games on it.

It can even be bootable on a USB as a desktop. last but not least its possible to dual boot. It use to be much harder back in the old days. But now it's simpler and easier than before. I can see why it's close to beating Apple and it's 3.4% marketshare.

Lol I do this a lot in college! I primarily use Libre, and then I save as docX and use an older version of office for fixing formatting issues. Even googleDocs can fix the formatting issues from libre, but most of the time text documents come out alright. I HATE that microsoft has such a major hold on office documents. Its annoying to see that kind of dominance in software, but it works well..

I don't get why people doesn't just install MSOffice on gnu/Linux if that was all they needed.
I get that excel is far better than gnumeric , libreoffice calc and the KDE one so why not just use excel?
It works fine on every machine I have tried it on.

>>62076831
Because wine sucks with office? Lets be honest here, I LOVE linux with the passion of 1000 suns, but microsoft office crashes way to often with wine. I hate having to press ctrl + s every 5-10 min because I know at some point, I'm going to enter a formula, and its going to spazz out like a virgin having an orgasm. The only reason I have office in wine these days is to check for compatability and fix a documents formatting. I think libre office is faster than office by light-years, and its design is perfect for me. But what you reccomend is hell. I've even been embarassed by powerpoint in wine. The only version that works well is 2007.

>>62076690
The old interface still works in ribbon, but you can't see it.
I use the same accelerators as in 2003 and they do the same thing mostly.

2010 worked flawlessly for me.
I just installed it through the play on Linux so I didn't have to mess around with the winetricks myself.
I haven't used office in a while, but I can't imagine the support for it has gotten worse.
I have to try the newest one to see.

>>62076883

Dude, you have no idea how many distro's I've ran in my 17 years of using linux. I've used all of them. I've used ubuntu, fedora, arch, gentoo, funtoo, suse, lfs, you can't name a distro I haven't tried. I contribute to open source software all the time. I know how much Office sucks in wine. You're kidding yourself if you think it's perfect. It runs horrible in almost every distro compared to using it in its native enviornment. But things may change... with microshaft embracing more linux technologies, we may just see a linux version some day.

>>62076831
>I get that excel is far better than gnumeric , libreoffice calc and the KDE one so why not just use excel?
What's so great about excel? Obviously it's going to be easier to use (especially if that's what you're used to), but I for one have yet to encounter something I could do in excel I couldn't manage in calc.

Linux to the mainstream desktop market is that piece of ugly shit OEMs stick on cheap netbooks to save cash, and unless someone makes a conscious effort to change that, that's where it's staying

Why is it so hard for you Pajeets to understand that the amount of Netflix watching normalfags running an OS is irrelevant? Even for Microsoft. What matters is what the people doing actual work are using, and the Linux kernel is fucking everywhere in that sector.

>>62077019
But the point of Windows is to make a profit. The point of Linux is to make a distro that the makers like.

>>62076956
The desktop solutions such as Xorg or GNOME are not limited to Linux, they're portable and do run on BSD systems as well. As far as I understand they're supported by RedHat and Google who use that desktop software internally for workstations.

ofcourse, but not on the desktop. like I said, keep a handful of actually useful distros and get rid of everything else.

>>62077155
>Not on the desktop
And it never will be, because the vast majority of desktop use is for media consumption requiring Jewish protection schemes to function. If normalfags could play their gaymes and watch their GoyFlix on Ubuntu for FREE you'd better believe market share would skyrocket.

>>62077155
>ofcourse, but not on the desktop. like I said, keep a handful of actually useful distros and get rid of everything else.
No. If someone wants to create something, who are you to tell them that its not ok? Who cares if you don't like it? Who cares if there's not a market for it?

>>62076249
You are right Linux didn't succeed in the Desktop market share, although ~2% is not insignificant.

But you forget the other things, it dominates phones and super computers and has a very significant server market share.

It never got popular with the normies on desktops, but compared to the other branches it dominates in, that is irrelevant.
Also consider that the home desktop is slowly dying and many companies run Linux on the server backends.

The market share is pointless to a linux desktop user, because they openly chose to use what they want to use...

>>62076595

Thinking the desktop is what matters, in a world where 99% of the population won't even have a desktop computer.

And as for desktop marketshare, Apple with a shit ton of marketing and product placement, as well as the Apple hype, only managed to get about 8% of the desktop at it's peak, the fact that Linux is still growing while Apple is shrinking means Linux is doing great.

Im sorry dude if you're offended. I'm black and I've been on this site for a decade. Free speech shouldn't bother you, its stupid to get mad over words, but what SHOULD bother you is OP being a faggot and not realizing that the market share for linux doesn't matter. That as a desktop, linux's goal isn't to have a large user base, but instead to promote open source software, education, and productivity in different ways compared to microsoft and apple. Also that linux isn't a failure, its actually quite sucessful. OP wants life to be too simple. You can't read the source code to most things in Windows or Apple, but you can in linux.

Why is there 2 of these bait threads?

Anyone can create a Linux distro (which is simply Linux+userspace packages), hence there are people who do that because they either find it a learning experience/fun, or because none of the existing alternatives meets their preferences. Still only a extremely small subset of Linux "devs" create a distro.

>because it's a massive unproductive waste of time especially towards people who actually look for a decent linux desktop but the people who should improve current shit distros are making their own shittier distros.

People use their spare time the way they choose you fucking dolt, if they wanted to improve an existing distro they would do that, when they make their own distro it means they have no interest in existing distros.

you keep touting "muh gnu" and "muh FOSS" but seems like everyone already forgot the main Unix tenets like avoiding the NIH syndrome and 'do one thing well'. you don't even know why you're using linux.

I really wish your whole family is on life support and the machines start breaking down, and when you call for someone to fix it they would say "sorry, there's not a standard here, there are 50 types of life support machines and I only know how to fix 12 of them, and the guy who build this has abandoned the project seven years ago so yeah good luck bro. btw feel free to build one yourself, here's a basic blueprint"

Gotten half the OSX desktop market share without any advertising or hype beyond word of mouth, and is still growing while a heavily promoted desktop system like OSX is shrinking.

Obviously they are doing incredible work, only a troll would try to paint this as a failure.

what samefag? Linux has the out of the box usability of ReactOS and installing fusermount packages to get a normal behavior pretty much confirms it, what's there to refute?

>>62078437
You got me,ed into using Arch, didn't you?
The reason it didn't have fusermount installed by default is that it's designed to be set up by someone who knows exactly what they need, such as an admin for a supercomputer (99% of supercomputers use linux).
Bet you 5 bucks Debian has it installed by default alongside Thunar.

Desperately cringing to desktop marketshare, because Linux owns every other area, meanwhile Linux desktop share is growing at an increasing speed and will pass OSX, the desktop OS which was poised to be Windows challenger.

Just how nervous are you ? Particularly when the desktop market keeps shrinking and will eventually consist primarily of professionals and computer enthusiasts, the other 99% will use mobiles/consoles.

>>62079085
>meanwhile Linux desktop share is growing at an increasing speed

>Particularly when the desktop market keeps shrinking
shitty excuse for linux failing.

>>62079177

>not really

Yes, really, for the vast majority of those 25 years it has been below 1%, now it's ~4%

>shitty excuse for linux failing.

Linux is owning every market that is GROWING, only market Windows own is one that is SHRINKING, and even here Linux is growing, but according to you Linux is failing, LOL.

Windows has nothing beyond the desktop, which is why they are suddenly 'loving Linux' and even implement Linux subsystems so that they can run proper BASH in a desperate attempt to remain viable for developers who are jumping ship at a massive pace.

That's pretty much my point, dude. The people shitting out distros are hobbyists who are doing it for fun. If they weren't making their own distros, they probably wouldn't be spending that time contributing to "important" projects.

It's 4% of desktop market share, what OP is leaving out is that the majority of computers are things like servers, and they typically are running Linux.
What OP is also leaving out is that desktop Linux is on a slow rise, and could also be described as having broken the 3% market share barrier, 2% market share barrier, etc.
