Any Linux users out there? I just installed Ubuntu and Ubuntu server
I strongly doubt Windows is anywhere near 90-98% even if you exclude servers, tablets, and phones. I don't like Mac personally, but I suspect Macbook is more than 2-10% of the market by itself.Did a search on "linux" in Husker Forums and this ancient topic/thread is about it, mostly. Interesting.. looks like not enough interest to begin a poll:
What computer operating system do you use most? Generally talking about browsing/searching/using the internet, not texting or making calls, etc.
- Windows
- Mac
- Linux
- Phone or Tab OS (iOS, Android, etc)
Except for servers Windows is obviously dominant by a huge margin, around 90% of the market to even 98% depending on which survey is used. But I was wondering about linux usage in this forum.
I use a mix of Windows and linux distros (Manjaro, MX, GhostBSD). Mostly linux but keep up with Windows on more than one machine. Anyway, likely talking to myself here. Still wonder if a true poll on this subject would fly.
Quick internet search and looks like Windows is about 70-75% and OSX around 16% for desktops: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwideHaven't done the real search on Windows vs Linux usage world wide yet, but keep thinking back to a chart I saw a few years ago (not at distrowatch.. perhaps one of the online mags) which did place Windows at over 90% desktop usage and Linux was way down there at 2%. Desktop usage.

I've been tempted to try Unraid for their, well, not raid setup.
