I agree, but it buries the lede of the adoption only increasing by 1.5%. They could have written “doubled from X to Y” to at least prepare our expectations that it might not be a high increment
Adoption was at 1.5% -> therefore adoption increased by 100% relative to its former value. That’s totally reasonable. Saying it increased by 1.5% is what buries the lead, because you have no idea if that’s a major or minor increase. Doubling is major.
First of all, nobody expects Linux to have much of market share in gaming anyway, so I don’t know who would think that a 100% increase is somehow not “preparing expectations”. Unless someone doesn’t undersand how percentages work, I guess.
Secondly, I specified what kind of increase it was.
That’s literally what it means, though. Going from 1.5% to 3% is damned impressive (though I’m not quite sure what exactly the other commenter is referring to, it took about 2 years to get there).
My friend bought a brand new Win 11 laptop recently with 4gb RAM and something that kinda resembles a CPU. In it’s default state it couldn’t browse the internet. It also has EMMC storage so that is slow as well. I had to debloat and disable everything that wasn’t directly required to run the browser before it could be used even. But it was $100 CAD new so I guess you get what you pay for.
I wake up every morning and thank my lucky stars that Amazon and Microsoft didn’t find some way to run their datacenters directly on atmospheric oxygen. The fuckers are already stealing all of our water, power, and croplands.
People being forced to run windows 11 with 8gb ram is going to be hilarious.
Holy shit, will AI cause the Linux renaissance?
It’s already doing it. Steam data showed a 100% increase in Linux clients after a “one too many” Windows updates fucked something up last year.
Note: it’s still hovering around the margin of error, but it’s strengthening. I think it went from 1.5% to 3%.
It’s 5% now
dont… dont phrase sentences like this
Why? It’s objective truth - it went from 1.5% to 3%, which is a 100% increase.

It’s huge. Imagine if news said that 1,5% of people had recently switched to bycicles for their commute. What would your reaction be?

I was nevertheless blind sided by your reckless comment, and demand commiseration immediately. In the form of a poem.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Don’t know how to poem
Even for you

Shit, it barely runs on 16GB anymore!

It will run okay… Unless you have an HDD. Good thing the AI bubble isnt blowing up SSD prices too.
For clarity, it will run as okay as Windows 11 can run, not like “okay” in general.

There was some degree of sarcasm.
