@Viss I’m pretty sure that was the Steam Hardware Survey. Different statistic

@Viss Thank you @microsoft❗
@catsalad @Viss @microsoft saw this and my heart skipped a beat cuz I thought something broke again.

is that all coming out of windoze folks who have finally had enough?

@indigoviolet @Viss yeah cloudflare data says about 1% point increase over a year ago but actual peak was at 6.5% of April this year

@Viss 2 weeks ago our household went from 2x Win11 machines, 2x Win10 machines to 2x Win11 machines, 2x Linux machines (ignoring work laptops). We can't be that unusual.

@Viss Thank you @microsoft❗
@catsalad @microsoft yeah killing off windows 10 was the push everyone needed, seems like

@paul_ipv6 possibly, yeah

@Viss only compare numbers of the same source, they differ strongly in how their measure it.
Linux finally crossed 3% (and still is) in the Steam Hardware survey https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey they only include Steam users, so gamers. The Steam Hardware Survey is also slightly boosted by Steams own product, the SteamDeck.Cloudflare measures http requests, it might also be that Linux users are more chronically online than windows users and therefore send more requests which would lead to overcounting

@Viss Linux is growing, which is awesome, just not by 2x

copilot. recall. ads in the startup menu. the gaff with updates and empty folder. just throwing windows 10 users under the bus to get windows 11 adoption. only performative GDPR compliance.
you screw over your customers and ignore their needs for your own agenda long enough, even captive audiences will look elsewhere.

@Viss Well it's Cloudflare so that has to be taken with a grain of salt. They are referring to the traffic they see, which is just a selected small part of the overall web traffic. That's why they severely underestimate the amount of Linux users.

@Viss Welcome aboard Windows 10 refugees! 😄

(Windows being SO BAD people are willing to try Linux out... is amusing. I love Linux, my switch to Linux on Desktop a bit more than a year and a half ago was the BEST DECISION EVER... used to Windows and ssh into my Linux machines, but SO MUCH NICER with a desktop... Why did I wait so long? Yeah, yeah, stupid installed software etc)

@paul_ipv6 @Viss @catsalad @microsoft
In general, if you look the the comment section of news about tech and Win 11, its rife with folk moving from Win 10 and trying Linux. They tend to be the tech people for family. Once they find out how capable Linux can be, I think we'll see gradual shift. I'm seeing stories of folk moving older family to Linux, and not once regretting it.
Sure, you'll still have a sizable chunk of windows die-hards, but I think a lot more people are going to try Linux.

@Viss Thank you @microsoft❗
@catsalad @Viss @microsoft Don't thank them yet. The downside of more popular Linux, is it becomes a target for the hackers, if it gets popular enough.

@latelesley @Viss @microsoft Am hacker, so I see this as an absolute win!

@Viss LOL they're not actually sending it to space, they're just downlinking on uplink frequencies. It may be they intend to use their satellites to jam other people's satellite control systems, deliberately... in war.

@ai6yr sigh. i have starlink. im not happy with it. i need to move to a mobile radio, but its been pulling teeth trying to figure out what mobile routers work with google fi. they recently bumped their usage plan to 100 gig a month, which is double starlinks 'backup link' cap of 50g. and i could have a backup isp 'effectively for free' on my existing plan.

@fucinafibonacci @economia praticamente sono alla canna del gas grazie alla loro stessa ideologia.
Praticamente si stanno riducendo alla stregua dell'URSS di Breznev, povera e corrotta che gonfia il petto davanti a tutti.Peccato che militarmente non si può definire un bluff.

@ScottStarkey This reminds me of a story that's surely made its rounds a couple times in internet circles about one of the most successful policy wins in the U.S.: Lead-acid battery recycling.
Lead-acid batteries are huge environmental risks and addressing these risks means as close to 100% of lead-acid batteries need to be recycled or at least turned in and disposed of properly. Lead-acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable, the running wisdom being only the label on the outside and the paper-like material between the pieces of lead not being fully recyclable.
Instead of attacking the problem by punishing or rewarding recycling, the law adds a core charge deposit to new batteries which is substantial to most folk but not outrageous - $22 I think these days. However, if you turn in an old battery at the same time you purchase a new one, that core charge is not applied (since you get the money back but it is immediately applied to the new battery). Further, if you return a battery but don't purchase a new one, you get $22 back.
With this regulation, lead-acid batteries are some of the most recycled consumer components out there. Almost everyone wants to avoid the core charge and at the same time, is pleased when it works out in their favor when recycling or turning in a battery.
I would say that this rule works because it was designed so people want to follow it, whether or not they like or know anything about the rule at all. The choices are clear and simple to everyone and it takes a lot for someone to be okay with missing out on $22. Further, if that old battery is ever found by anyone else, they immediately have a financial incentive to do the right thing.
