     @graf yeah, but it shows that linux gaming is viable, so the next step is getting people to just fucking use linux

     @coolboymew 3% is still pretty damn low though but given the low amount of machines shipping with linux I'd say it's pretty good.

     I could never get Arch to install correctly. Then again it was on a Microsoft HyperV so there may have been some compatibility issues there. I dunno I'm not that smart.

     Arch is just garbage and the only people who say otherwise have been mindbroken by it so hard they have Stockholm Syndrome.

     @matty @Bead @coolboymew use the arcinstaller https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall
     or if you're a big dum dumb like me :retarded_frog: use endeavoros which is basically arch but with a gui installer and a few extra stuff https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall

     If I'm gonna do something like that, I want to do it all by hand. I have this problem where if I don't understand something completely, I don't want to implement it because I feel like its cheating.

     @coolboymew @coldacid steamdeck absolutely the biggest draw on what grew linux's share, even if it's still just video games. erm, well besides people leaving after microshaft :microsoft: making 11 somehow even more horrid than 10.
     I do like to imagine that more and more people are considering using linux as their primere platform of choice after getting a taste of it on the deck- but I'm not sure if it's big enough to actually makes waves in tech in general.
     experience with talking with and playing with gamers has taught me they're very, very retarded; go to /v/ and see a linux thread and you'll ask the "derrr lincuck cant even play games" crowd how to install steam from package manager is and they instantly shut down.

     @airfoils @coolboymew considering that macOS is around 10-15%, I wouldn't mind lol

     It would be a good pace for "organic" growth.

     Only way I see Linux installs increasing at a faster rate is if Microsoft dropped the ball REALLY hard, even harder than Vista/8.

     Tho I doubt that's possible, if they can gaslight users into thinking their PCs are obsolete as with 11, they can get away with murder lol

     And anyway, even if they drop the ball, the alternative is macOS in the "normie" mind, not Linux

     @kQuote03 @airfoils they are gonna drop the ball. They're planning to have everything on the cloud and you can bet your ass they're going to start nickle and diming, on top of the ads and all the crap they're currently pushing. It's not a good outlook
     
     Once again we'll start paying monthly for nothing good or new whatsoever

     @coolboymew @kQuote03 I think it'll depend a lot on how they push Windows 365 (the cloud version). Currently, it is aimed more at enterprise use, but if it becomes the only way to use windows in the short term, I could see people ditching it.

     Although, in my opinion, what they will probably do is slowly transition over the next couple of years and only by the end of the decade, if computers become more of a power-user thing, will they offer a cloud-only version of Windows.

     If this is how it pans out, Linux will probably "win" the desktop, but by then it won't be something that will matter anymore. (I pray that I'm wrong tho)
