Aren't macOS and OSX just different versions of the same thing? Why break them out when Windows is all in one? Never been a Mac user, someone help me out.
Still needs to drop much more.
At this rate, it will. Windows 11 is a turd, and i don’t expect it to get any better unless shareholders get rid of the current CEO.
Foreign governments are trying to wean themselves from US tech. That’ll be a big chunk soon. I expect they will roll their own unix/linux distros.
What's the anomaly around 2023/2024 where people seemed to switch to OS X and then back?
That doesn't seem like a switch people would undertake lightly, considering they'd need new hardware.
Since it's just a share of total usage, that doesn't necessarily mean that people switched.
There were a lot of layoffs in 2023, and big companies tend to use Windows as their enterprise desktop. So a drop in Windows users at the enterprise level would necessitate that other OSs now have a larger share of the remaining pie.
Isn't this based on web traffic, and if so it is very unreliable due to the large amount of bot traffic?
It is clear Windows is dropping, and it's great. But probably not at this speed.
Anyway, it's the year of the Linux Desktop, now's the time to switch!
I switched ! 🙋

Shit, just linux.
Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
