Hercules was with me all night. We were doing competitive pushups.
He won. Because he's awesome, and he can balance a spoon on his nose, and he tore down soooooo many flock cameras.......I mean........no, not that last one. I don't know why I said that. He was with me all night in the garage doing push-ups.
they’re taking advantage of the fact most people who are without prior knowledge otherwise (which is why they’re so big on targeting the young) will start to believe what the advertisers are saying is actually true – without proof – if they hear it enough.
Well the reason that is big, is that regardless of the OS, whether it's windows, MacOS, or Linux, the concept of a desktop experience itself is shrinking.
Most people today that use desktops do so at work only. Meaning they don't control if it's Windows 11, Windows 10, Linux, or some company made propriatary OS (which, is most likely a form of linux). Doesn't matter. They come into work, use a computer that isn't theirs, to use an OS they have no say in.
With France using Linux, those people who don't know how to use a windows PC, will now be the people who don't know how to use a linux PC. But, like all things, they'll learn SOMETHING from it.
The major reason that Windows thrives is because businesses use it. When businesses use it, the employees use it. When the employees use it, they learn SOME things from it.
So when it comes time for them to buy a PC, they'll be firmiliar with linux, and windows becomes the foreign thing they've never used.
Thats the glass ceiling. People buy windows because they know windows. And they know windows because their school/job taught them windows.
But if their school/job teaches them linux instead, then that's what they'll know when they bring a PC home.
It's not a huge deal in itself. It becomes a huge deal when you consider the snowball effect.
Here's the truth of the matter. As a server, Linux runs the show. As a desktop, Linux is basically little league.
There is some growth, but it's not people getting fed up with microsoft. The real growth comes from Valve.
Despite it's apperance, SteamOS is considered a linux desktop, and it's driving growth on linux. I don't think it's up to 10%, considering 2 years ago it was at an all time high of 4%. But I can believe it's at 6%. And even that would be considered tremendous growth. 4% in 30 years, but 2% more in 2 more years? That's huge.
I keep seeing the same story about linux. People are gaming on steamos, or bazzite, and they have to keep a windows installation on the other partition because select games have anti-cheat that 100% does not work on linux.
But here's the better news. Console games are dying.
C'mon, Percy. I have the next few days off work. You can come relax with me. My plan is to do NOTHING.
So uh.....if you gotta poop, ya know....don't.
Other than that, my apartment is a stress free zone.
