If politicians weren’t corrupt, what problems do billionaires cause?
And not only increased, but gotten significantly further ahead of Linux.
Yeah and that’s what I’d call “not significant” growth.
Not really. People using a Steam Deck to play games isn’t going to make Adobe (for example) make Linux versions of their software.
The kids with Steam decks are watching porn on them, guaranteed.
So you agree the problem is really politician corruption, not billionaires.
That’s completely different. Every internet connected service has risks, but having known vulnerabilities that you just refuse to fix is different to someone figuring out a complex exploit.
The irony of not wanting to use Plex and saying to use Tailscale to let you use jellyfin is just too good.
According to Steam: in the last 3 years there has been 150% growth in Linux users
Steam deck.
And according to Pornhub, in 2024 there was a 41% growth in Linux users.
Steam deck.
That's just the steam deck. That doesn't really count as "people switching to linux".
On the flip side, SteamOS and the "success" of the steam deck is giving people here a false sense of "OMG THE YEAR OF LINUX IS FINALLY HERE!!!!" because most people that buy a steam deck aren't really "using linux" in the way that OP is talking about. They just bought a game console, and that game consoles OS is based on linux. On the steam surveys sure, it will show as say 5mil more people using linux - but that's just 5 million steam deck sales, not laptops or desktops that have switched to Linux.
There isn't any significant increase in people running Linux on their laptops or desktop computers.
Is it as good as Windows is with nvidia gpus out of the box? No.
