Linux market share keeps rising | From last month's 4.44% to 4.55% now

◉Share is of course more; Chrome OS is Linux also (Google's Linux but not a Free Desktop type)
◉The "Unknown" category should include much Linux (only user agents hidden)
◉This is true desktop usage (Steam Deck is not used to browse web for most)

Linux in plans? Don't know where to start? DISTROSEA helps finding a suitable Linux OS -- right from web browser

Microsoft has countless intentions to invade people's privacy (often without user even realizing).

Soon Microsoft indeed wants to add a "Recall" function to Windows 11 to take screenshots continuously (!) Is this OK..?

Linux is also a mainstream gaming platform now

Fallout 3 runs perfect on Linux -- while on Windows 10 regular crashes are reported.

"The Freedom OS" is a savior for many

Many ponder a Linux switch -- Google Trends shows a spike for "Linux", "Ubuntu", etc.

To add: recent faulty Windows security update (CrowdStrike) took out banks, airlines & big companies worldwide via update *with Linux OS's not impacted*

Using Windows? Sad or happy to say: they just copied all your files to their servers

Windows (so M$) was CAUGHT for automatically turning their OneDrive cloud backups ON. THEY know wat yer own best.

The planned Recall feature of Spydows? @ Microsoft (for some reason) they want to take screenshots (nice & automatic) on what ye doing on ye PC.

What do YOU think? Considering Linux?

@GossiTheDog Well, we could also consider to just #DeleteMicrosoft and use reasonable software like Linux, LibreOffice, NextCloud, BBB ... We do have alternatives. We just need to want to use them instead of chasing the fairytale of the benefits of big corporations.

Microsoft: an irresposible company - its effects once again tried to be reduced by Linux development

◉The Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) is a security concern
◉This protocol built atop USB for virtual Ethernet functionality may now get disabled for Linux mainline

::: LINUX IN THE WILD - "Weird Linux benefits"

The OP stated:

"What I notice with Linux. I get somehow better audio like its more clear and better sound. I don't know how but I'm 100% sure I get better sound.

Some native Windows games I swear work even better on Linux and it's more stable for me.

There is also one weird thing that I can't explain but my eyes hurt less about 70%.

For some reason on Windows my eyes are burning even if I use the same apps and everything but still the issue is there."

So, what do YOU think? Had similar experiences after moving on from Windows to Linux?

::: Ditching user disrespecting Windows for Linux has never been more viable

Did you know? You can play Windows-only games on Linux in Steam by just enabling PROTON there

Proton? It's Valve's enhancement based on work of Wine project - Wine 7.22 is out now to take things all the more further!

Wine 7.22 main updates:

- 32-on-64 thunks for both Vulkan & OpenGL

- OpenLDAP library bundled / built as PE

- Support for the RAW print processor in WinPrint

- More progress on the long types printf format conversion

=> https://www.winehq.org/announce/7.22

::: LibreOffice

Did You, yes You (who recently found Mastodon out of birdsite) know - there is a free & open Office suite to replace Microsoft's Office!

What an alternative LibreOffice is nowadays! Available for Linux & Windows, too.

Here's a fresh overview /BTW: Odysee is another alternative -- for videos..

Wine 7.21 released!

More goodies are in the post to enable gaming Windows-only games on Linux - this work of course benefits Steam's Proton dimension

The development got the PE work finished! - An important piece.

But PE what? PE (Portable Executable) is to follow closer with how Windows does things, to improve compatibility, and as a benefit it could also allow WoW64 without 32-bit dependencies.

(Wow64.dll provides the core emulation infrastructure and the thunks for the Ntoskrnl.exe entry-point functions.)

Also the preparing for Vulkan 32bit on 64 bit has started.
