Yeah, X64 is only used by windows, that's like ~80% of the desktop computing market, plus nearly every server and cloud instance out there, so not much at all. /s
Why do some users assume that the whole world revolves around Apple's iOS/M1 Mac ecosystem as if it exists in a vacuum?

- michaelcampbell 5y ago> Why do some users assume that the whole world revolves around Apple... Because for those users, it does, and Apple coddles and encourages that mindset.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoBecause well over 90% of shipped computing devices are ARM based. Desktop computers are a declining and relatively small market. Your home, car and office are full of ARM devices. Potentially hundreds. x86 lives in the data centre (Linux, not Windows, so contrary to grandparent post, but whatever) and in some desktop systems. Not the majority of systems. Has nothing to do with an Apple fetish.
- edgyquant 5y ago> nearly every server and cloud instance out there Is this true? I thought Linux dominated the server space.
