Despite Microsoft’s push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant’s latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.
This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.
I’m just acclimating myself to Linux and attempting to learn how to get Wine working. I’m just done with this shit.
Feel free to DM if you want 1 on 1 support. Ive been making the switch for almost 4 years now.
Thanks! I will definitely do that. I’m not new to Linux but it’s been around 20 years since I last did anything with distros and I remember Wine being finicky as hell. Hopefully it has been somewhat tamed in the last 20 years. I’m starting basic AF with Ubuntu, though I did grab a copy of Mint to play with.
Wine doesn’t support everything and is still broken for a lot of things.
Tell me you’ve never even tried using alternative software without telling me you’ve never tried using alternative software.
This has got to be the smuggest, Reddit-est comment format on the internet nowadays
Makes sense it came from a Linux user this time 😂
Call it whatever you want, I don’t feel spreading a negative narrative to someone who wants to leave an abusive ecosystem on the internet should be something that should be defended though.
