I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn’t know we already passed 4%.
I’ve been a Mac user since the late 80s and the news of its dominance has escaped me.
~15-20% is nothing to sneeze at, but hardly dominance
Dominance*
*- if you ignore the actual dominant party
I’m interpreting that as clickbait - just something they added to the title to drive traffic.
A lot of people in unis over here use macs
Maybe dominant in the USA? People venerate Malus products there.
But any tech company provides Macs now, not Linux hardware. They even boast about it in their job ads and use it as bait.
Dominance?! Ha!
Yeah only makes sense if you call it “desktop *NIX dominance” or maybe just “non-Windows dominance.”
Year of the Linux Desktop lfg!!
YOTLD
You’re 4 months late
Also it went down to 3.77
That’s cuz the Linux users are enjoying the summer
IT’S THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!
@Blaze@lemmy.zip That’s an old news article, from at least 3 months ago
Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.
What are the reasons one wouldn’t count ChromeOS? I guess I don’t know much about it, is it somehow “less Linux” than your run of the mill Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, openSUSE, etc?
Count me in! Switched to Linux Mint for my DD last month.
Only thing I’m missing is a very dead simple 3D modeling replacement for the Windows one (the others have a steep learning curve). I’ll have to find a browser based option…
It’s unfortunate that the Adobe suite is not on Linux. FreeCAD and Blender are the standard of 3D modeling on Linux but Adobe Web has been picking up steam lately.
If you have two computers you can add the program to Steam on Windows and Stream it.
If it’s not very performance heavy then you could run it in a VM and use something like Dropbox or Mega to sync your work through the Internet.
If the files are very large I’m not sure, but I think you might be able to mount a shared filesystem that’s used by both the VM and the Linux host
