  • According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

  • of course, you don't want M$ Copilot digging into your porn history, do you?

    Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

    Jump

  • I don't think they going to stop now. They even forced users to create Windows accounts in order to use Windows 11. They will also force Copilot to be installed on Windows 11.

    Did we ever ask M$ for this AI spy tool? No.

  • That's one of the reasons I use Linux as my daily driver. I'm not playing high end games, I only play old windows games from my childhood.

  • The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arrive

    Jump

  • In my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

  • What's the future of the Linux ?

    Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is

    Jump

  • yep, in several countries including where I live. Several government institutions and state-owned companies have been using M$ Azure since 2 years ago.

  • I have several options here : OrangePI, used Android TV box, mini PC, thin-client and laptop.

    currently just installed dual boot Linux on my old mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

  • The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice

    Jump

  • just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

  • Here's why Linux market share isn't going to skyrocket anytime soon

    Jump

  • Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

    There's a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let's say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

  • My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows for Ubuntu to see how it goes

    Jump

  • My laptop did not go to sleep

    Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.

    From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.

    So I have this "can't wake up" issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.

    In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39

    I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.

    So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the "can't wake up" issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

  • Ubuntu 25.04 & Fedora 42 Hit A Long Sought Milestone With HDR Support Working Well On The Linux Desktop

    Jump

  • oh great news!!

    I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.

  • not a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago

    yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention

  • Linux Swap Explained: Do You Need It?

  • My next issue is that sometimes it just hard-freezes. Zero warning, under no load, I can't even move the mouse. Linux on the desktop

    You may want to consider fixing the system cache value.

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39

    I use lower values than Linus suggested.

  • Is the 'stuck' economy a global phenomenon? Americans share frustrations about not being able to get ahead despite education - is this a universal experience?

    Jump

  • It also happens in Asia, I can say that some of them are similar to what you said. In my country, many young people have a hard time finding a job even if they are university graduates. Necessities is getting more expensive.

    There are also many people and households who are trapped in huge debts from online loans.

    Many small businesses stuck or fail, only the business of the oligarchs can survive. and their business destroys small businesses and harms the people.

  • Solus 4.7 released

  • I would like to try Solus along with other Linux, unfortunately Solus uses systemd-boot rather than GRUB. 😔😔

  • What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?

    Jump

  • The whole separation between APT and snap packages doesn't work well together and is really the big problem I have, as a lot of standard deb packages just refuse to install properly now.

    since you are mention deb packages, I would consider these

    • Linux Mint
    • PopOS
    • Rhino Linux (somekind of rolling release distro based on ubuntu)
    • LMDE
