You're going down Chrome OS and Unknown!

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

We shall beat the Unknown!

This is through summer and universities break. Its fair to expect a higher increase through the last Quarter of the year and probably surpassing ChromeOS with 3.24%

I wonder what a significant majority of Unknown contributes to ;)

TempleOS and ReactOS 🤪

Considering that not many people use BSD or the others, I would guess that most of the "unknowns" are actually Linux users. That means we're probably already at over 6%. :-)

what distro? is it just the one or all distros added together is 3%?

[–] Kaped@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All distros combined. All distros are linux. Even ChromeOs is linux but its counted separately.

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

gotcha. why is ChromeOS separate? or why that and not RHEL?

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same reason android is not counted as Linux, based on Linux but doesn't behave like all the other Linux based distros

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It's just arbitrary convention, there isn't a solid taxonomic reason they are separate.

[–] sounddrill@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Wow!

Since steam deck came out, I switch to Linux desktop for gaming and it is going really good. Can play my whole library
