Clickbaity title on the original article, but I think this is the most important point to consider from it:
After getting to 1% in approximately 2011, it took about a decade to double that to 2%. The jump from 2% to 3% took just over two years, and 3% to 4% took less than a year.
Get the picture? The Linux desktop is growing, and it’s growing fast.
I just installed Mint the other day. I was pussy footing around with trying to create a persistent USB drive but the bootloader was fighting me. I finally just hovered over the “wipe drive and install” button for a while before I finally clicked and let it rip. Never again M$.
I first tried Ubuntu then switched to pop os and haven’t looked back. Feels great to be free of MS.
dual booting would be a pain in the ass, both setting it up and post-setup
I think the best solution is to just have Windows on other drive, that way it shouldn’t touch Linux drive’s bootloader.
Setup is piss easy, just hit install. The real pain is the random Windows update that will wipe all boot entries that aren’t Microsoft’s
That was the conclusion that pushed me over.
