Who cares? I don't use Linux because it is or isn't popular. Who actually has an emotional bond to the market share of their software?
I use Linux because it works for me and makes my life easier, is free/open and because I don't have to deal with Windows.
- kaba0 3y agoMarket share/popularity correlates directly to amount of available software, and their support. So it is completely rational to care about these metrics.
- globular-toast 3y agoI care about other people having to suffer a shitty computing experience.
- ehnto 3y agoIt is a little funny that I can't tell if this comment is pro or against desktop Linux.

- IshKebab 3y agoCould be both tbh. There are definitely ways in which Linux is better - no ads (cough Microsoft) or artificial restrictions (e.g. recording desktop audio cough Apple). But in the most important ways - software availability and reliability - it is much worse.
- ehnto 3y agoReliability for sure, though it has gotten better. You could argue that availability is better because it's all free, but I see what you are saying. Often enough I can't use a program natively on Linux.
