Queue any discussion of Wayland/Xorg, Systemd, flatpacks, snaps, distro choice,
Pipewire/Pulseaudio(last one is easy, Pipewire ftw), Vim/Emacs, GPL/MIT, immutability, etc…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
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.
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
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.
Oh, for sure. Windows marketshare never drops only because of its friendly community.
