1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Wait, If Windows is 96.21% and Linux is 1.96%, then MacOS is 1.83%?

    Wouldn't that make Linux 2nd place?

    Before opening the comments, I spent several seconds contemplating if I should mention this, or if people would think I was some pedantic nerd dickhead and downvote me to hell. Glad someone else already covered this.

    We still think you're a pedantic need dickhead, but we upvote you for that!

    It's actually second now.

    Linux now has more steam users than MacOS

    [–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Which, as an ex MacOS user, is a mindboggling fact it took this long.

    [–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

    I guess people just trying to do things with what they have. I had a friend who plays LoL on a Mac. She also used Steam on it but there were very few games.

    Even if it was all gamers, that'd push a lot of companies to care about Linux a whole lot more. Venn diagram of people who spend a lot of money in tech stuff and people who play games is almost a circle nowadays.

    I actually feel sorry for that first placed kid on the picture: he formally won but clearly feels beaten by the sheer enthusiasm of the 3rd place one.

    Math don't add up, Linux would be second because whatever else would only have 1.83.

    Second place baby!

    Even if it's Steam Deck, this just goes to show that desktop Linux is totally viable; it just needs more commitment from companies

    [–] valkyre09@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Maybe this is the year for desktop Linux!

    [–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Windows 10 has support into next year. Personally I use Linux and Windows but I'm sticking with gaming on Windows until support runs out. I think next year will be the year of linux

    [–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Is that before or after Steam Deck users? Would it be higher than 1.96 if we included steam deck in the count?

    [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    People are installing Windows 11 en-masse on that Steam Deck!

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

    No they aren't

    [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago

    Okay, people are uploading videos of their successful Windows 11 install on YouTube, Reddit and the Steam community en-masse, followed by complaining it doesn't run well lmao
