Clickbaity title on the original article, but I think this is the most important point to consider from it:
After getting to 1% in approximately 2011, it took about a decade to double that to 2%. The jump from 2% to 3% took just over two years, and 3% to 4% took less than a year.
Get the picture? The Linux desktop is growing, and it’s growing fast.
They don’t have to. People use PCs outside of the office too.
That’s not the discussion we were having.
Phones cannot do the same job as PCs. It has nothing to do with compute power, it has to do with peripherals and multitasking and general work efficiency.
The point is, as I said, that the vast majority of work is done in the cloud, through a browser, which is something that Linux does absolutely fine.
You’re mistaken.
I’m absolutely not, and arguing the point is hilarious.
You’re really trying to say that millions of businesses, employing billions of people, in thousands of industries ,are “totally just using browsers, bro.”
Come the fuck on.
I’m not trying to say anything. I said it. Many businesses use dedicated software (most of which is also available on Linux) but many many more are just logging into some cloud database to access information. Yes. Absolutely. 1000%. And it’s hilarious that you think otherwise.
Sure dude. The above is why desktop Linux already dominates the businesses world. Everything is cloud based, which is why Linux desktop share is at 99% across all businesses, and not 6% across portable gaming consoles and nerd’s home PCs.
It’s not worth arguing with you when you’re making ridiculous assumptions and stating clear hyperbole.
There is a vast array of reasons why Linux is not more popular. Very few of them are proprietary Windows apps.
Not worth arguing with me and yet here you are…
