Linux

Its honestly one of the easiest things people can do to reject the messed up corporate dystopia we have. Especially if you do it with both computers and phones.

The year of Linux is finally here. Let’s go!

I use Ubuntu btw in my old and new computers.

What a handsome bovine!

I love to cheer for linux (Fedora user here 😎) but the math and logic in the blog post is off. Firstly, the linux desktop-share for US government websites is much higher, because to calculate it, you have to exclude iOS and Android. But then again, the data may be skewed and linux-users may just be much more prominent visitors of US government websites. I think this sounds credible as many linux users are technically apt and active citizens.

Nevertheless, if the trend is true it is encouraging! Cannot verify because analytics.usa.gov only provides data a calendar year into the past by default and I can't be bothered to get an api key to see if more can be fetched.

The real desktop linux share for the last 30 days can be calculated:

windows = 33.2

macos = 11.6

linux = 6.9

linux / (windows + macos + linux) = 0.13346228

If the average tech nerd uses linux and uses two computers every day and the average non tech nerd has only one device and uses his computer only once a week.

Could this distort such a usage report?

I am on linux mint on both my laptop and my desktop. I only need my phone to be degoogled and I will be all set.

The next revolution will be digitalized.
