In our home the desktop Linux marketshare is 100% 😋
Although just under 2% on Steam isn't a lot, it seems to be growing slowly. Gaming on Linux is amazing today compared to 2005 when I switched to Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

With the German state of Schleswig-Holstein moving 30k PCs to linux, we might see tiny increase of that. Hopefully more states (in Germany and elsewhere) consider doing the same.

I'm always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.
I think the Linux ecosystem is rapidly manuring
Not the best choice of typos.
Microsoft also suddenly came in with a big suitcase of cash and built a giant HQ there.
The problem with that story is that is doesn't make any sense. Why would Microsoft spend Millions for one city in Germany? It feels more like a story to get clicks.
Because it actually happened?
Manjaro has more share than I thought
Can we stop pretending that Linux has a small market share? It is literally 4%. Everyone and there dog is using Linux.
4% use arch professionally?
Naw, it's closer to 0.5% but they talk about 8 times as much as everyone else.
🤣
