Despite Microsoft’s push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant’s latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.
This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.
My general experience has been: “Come to Linux”
“But not ubuntu that’s trash”
<Tries arch, run into problem>
“Why the fuck would you use arch, dummy?”
<Switch to fedora, immediately brick computer, eventually fix it but switch to suse>
<Wonder where certain software is>
“If you wanted wide software support why wouldn’t you use arch”
“You can just learn the build tool chain for that software and do it yourself”
Etc Etc
The Linux community is very welcoming until you expect things to work.
