More Indian Linux users than ever yay!

>>105938654
These are stats for USA.

>slashdot

I hate you jeets so much it's unreal

>>105938706
So what he said?

>>105938504 (OP)
That's actually impressive. It used to not even be 1%. The momentum is in Linux favor now.

>in StatCounter, OS X =/= macOS

The winjeet shills are in panic

>>105938706
desu its very misleading because they always reported Worldwide stats that are still 4%. Recent ChromeOS announcement must have affected those stats for USA somehow.

how do they know

>>105938504 (OP)
i switched 2 days ago

Red Hat shills will try to spin it into massive success for Wayland and other garbage introduced in past few years but the reality is that any progress in recent years can be attributed to Valve involvement and Windows downfall. Fuck RH.

>>105939102
are the red hat shills in the room with us right now?

Year of the GNU plus Linux desktop, baby. It's happening.

>>105938793
indians go to shitholes like Canada if they make their way to NA, the only Indians in the US are the super educated nepo babies that get slotted into CEO positions.
everywhere else gets the street shitters.

So, after we take out the 10% of homosexuals who use macos, 1% of based Windows 7 users, 84% desktop users are using horrible JeetOS10/11...

I do believe Linux share on desktop computers is rising but I don't trust statcounter all. For Finland it claims that linux is at 23,64% and that last december it was at 4,2%. Not reflected by reality

>>105939459
>the only Indians in the US are
the millions of jeets who lied like crazy on their CV to get a job they can't do at all, and that's a big problem.

It's all AI scraperbots.

>>105938706
Do you not know how many H1Bs there are?

>>105938504 (OP)
Are gaming handhelds counted as desktop operating systems because they load a desktop environment in the background?
Also what's other? Isn't that also Linux

And? Sounds like a skill issue on your end, saar.

>>105940254
Linux in India is used mostly in institutions. They enforced it there so it doesn't really count.

>>105940254
why do you have to bring us down like that man...

>>105940254
The vast majority of street shitters do not even have electricity

>>105938793
Only 7% of the US population is *any* kind of Asian. For the Indians to make that kind of impact they'd all have to count as using Linux 2-3 times.

Also, fun fact. Despite being less than 3% of the population Indian men account for nearly half of the software engineering positions. Think about that next time you never even get a rejection letter after filling out a job application.

>>105938504 (OP)
cool, now in 30 more years we get to 10%

i don't care i like my cool kids club

>>105938504 (OP)
it's probably at least twice that. if you consider most people are spoofing to reduce fingerprinting.

TRVTH NVKE.

Absolutely. The 'Eck (which you put your 'ick on) is the major reason Linux is upticking. People are seeing they can play 90% of games and avoid the shitpile that is PajeetSoft 10 and 11.

Everyone say thank you to Gay Ben and Vulkan.

i switched last week, actually liking it a lot more than i did trying it years ago and have not felt like crawling back to windows at all yet

>>105943100
I hope is Mint and not confusing Ubuntu.

I just tried running aliens vs predators in heroic games launcher on linux, doesn't work. Also jet set radio doesn't work.

How is this better the windows if it doesn't just work with one click?

>>105944236
Are you retarded? Read the error log. You are surely missing some library.

>>105940254
Autism semaphore.

>>105944272
I'm probably more experienced than 90% of people on linux.

I tried installing lib32 vulkan libraries, tried different proton GE version, tried steam proton versions, tried with winetricks GUI in heroic to install DX11 dlls, pretty much all redists. Disabled mangohud, gamemode since its running in flatpak, gave it permission for gpu acceleration, shared memory.

I bet on windows it would work with one click.

Now 20 minutes+ and still not working. This is why people don't use linux, and no I'm not going to buy the game on steam.

>>105940254
OH NO NO NO NO
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>105944357
Valve is the driving force behind Linux gaming getting better and better. You either use Steam and get that "one click" or you tinker endlessly trying to be a contrarian faggot.
>I bet a program specifically tailored for Windows would easily run on Windows
Such an impressive and intelligent take, you clearly know these things better than 90% of people.

>>105938504 (OP)
Waiting on SteamOS for desktops

probably has just as much to do with windows getting worse as linux getting better.

>>105945128
When 7 was around I tried Linux once and went back.
With 10 I flip floped between LTSC and Linux.
With 11 I'm never touching Windows again.

>>105938504 (OP)
Thanks Pewds,
now more and more newfags gets to experience writing

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEFSYNC=1 WINE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11,dxgi=n" wine GTAV.exe

to run their games. Neat.

White first world countries have over 17% Linux usage while mixed, brown and black third world countries like Africa, United States and India have 15% or less. Is the reason Americans and other third worlders being so poor? Or shit drinking water full of chemicals? Or food full of chemicals? Or violence?
