There are 250 Billion dollars worth of laptops that are not "capable" of running Windows 11, and Windows 10 is NO LONGER getting virus, zero day, hacking fixes.
250 million laptops that can be tech waste, or a much faster Linux computer.
Because linux runs on almost anything, much faster than Windows, and its a friend, not a spy, or handcuffs.

E no fim das contas, escrever neste ambiente dá aquele esmeril soviético no ego, sabem? Ó que desktop bonitão, ó.
It is nice to see Linux growing. The question is why? Microsoft does not make it easy to switch. Is this a result of Microsoft and Apple aggressively sunsetting OS versions and Linux being the way to keep HW working? Or is this just more people realizing that Linux is great? Some other reason?
Windows 11: TPM 2.0, UEFI, Secure Boot…
Linux Can it breathe? Good enough. 
U.S. Linux desktop usage hits an all-time high: 5.04% as of June 2025 
Driven by Windows 10 EOL and privacy concerns over Windows 11 + AI features 
More users turning to Linux for control, longevity & compatibility 
Crossing "Unknown" OS share marks a symbolic shift
Some call it the slow, quiet rise of the Linux desktop.
TBH, I think the #CopilotKey is worse than the #PizzaKey because #Netpliance #iOpener didn't force that shit onto other users.
Simply because one doesn't expect that #Internet #Terminal to be used as a #desktop.

Fallback Link.:
Linux has reached 5% desktop market share (5.03% in June) as more people realizing how great and useful it is. And it can only go up from here especially when the end of Windows 10 approaches.
Meanwhile the #desktop OS #marketshare of #Linux in #Germany is nearly 5 %.
What really surprised me is the the near ¼ marketshare of MacOS.

It is complete different compared to #Norway https://social.linux.pizza/@midtsveen/114869520045412084

Good news but I'm sure "some" people will lament than Linux is not niche anymore.
Linux desktop share reaches 5%! The growth is accelerating: 8 years from 1% to 2%, but only 0.7 years from 3% to 4%. We're witnessing the tipping point where 'alternative' becomes 'viable choice'

Asking the #Fediverse ! This one is for users/admins of #Linux #desktop PCs.
You have been using your computer to do your stuff for a while and you decide you're going out for a walk or coffee, outdoors, say for a 30-45' pause... What's the power saving strategy you go for?
Just curious while I'm writing something about this stuff for my blog (if mental health allows)
"Not this again." But wait, with #Windows10 EOL #Endof10 near & global tensions rising, could #Linux finally have its #desktop moment? #oSC25 #openSUSE #TheGreatMigration https://youtu.be/q9y84viC9rY?si=A71OA8QKccGljxJL
