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.

Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That's crazy. Don't just look at the 5.1%.

I'm sure it's heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.

It does correlate with the numbers Steam released a few days or weeks ago.

Windows 11 not installing on "older" machines is big too.

We really need to thank Microsoft. They're pushing a LOT of people to try out the free stuff.

If they're anything like me, it's the old laptop that you'd install Linux on as an experiment.

And maybe that laptop was only ah... Semi-retired at the time.

So what you're saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???

[–] pulpier@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe they're just watching it for the plot.

Well, been * ahem * told that a friend of a friend didn't found any videos there were "Your friendly neighborhood geek goes into the house of a hot milf to upgrade her Windows 10 machine to Arch and she shows them how hot she found their Linux install skills and how thankful she is", so that seems unlikely.

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Haha!

But uh...I would watch that. That sounds pretty hot.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago
