Now now, some of it is windows ce still. Amazingly

humbletightband ,

Actually it’s all Java

marcos ,

And 4.5% of the desktops.

At this rate it should reach 25% of them by 2043.

Lots of routers are BSD.

Fair point…

CaptPretentious ,

Yep.

I came here to make a ‘my router uses BSD btw’ joke.

PfSense!

I was talking to my dad about my job and how people don’t know how to use Linux. He said “Yeah, nobody uses that UNIX stuff anymore.”

Then I pointed out that his phone and his computer both run flavors of UNIX, since he’s been using Apple products since I made him switch by not supporting his issues with Windows, and that most of the websites and apps he’s using are running Linux on the backend.

Ha, imagine an alternate universe where crowdstrike took down people’s refrigerators.

The ones that aren’t BSD-based, anyway, like for instance pfSense.

Or MacOS, or the PlayStation OS.

Huh, I don’t follow supercomputers very often. I didn’t realize in the last 10 years UNIX dropped off the map of supercomputers entirely in favor of Linux.

Pretty cool.

Z3k3 ,

I worked in resales for super computers about 10 yrs ago. For x86 based designs we flogged red hat

WormFood ,

it’s still mostly red hat even for arm, though Cray (who still supply a lot of machines here in the UK) ship a horribly butchered version of SLES

Z3k3 ,

Place I worked at had 1 other architecture it was risc but not arm

simple ,

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux-

🤣

grue ,

That’s the problem, though: a lot of it isn’t GNU, specifically because GNU stuff is GPLv3 and would thus stop the smart TV and IoT device makers from Tivoizing everything all to Hell. Most of that stuff is running bastardized Linux, not GNU/Linux!

Frog ,

Thank you Mr. Stallman!

There are a number of Linux distributions that do not have a GNU user space, so no.

silkroadtraveler ,

A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components: Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…

Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.

Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.

Embedded Linux and Android are not GNU Linuxes.

marcos ,

The only one of those that consistently runs GNU/Linux is supercomputers,

wurstgulasch3000 ,

All my servers run on Debian

marcos ,

Oh, right, there’s servers there too.

If you don’t want to install Linux, You should install plan9

knightly ,

I am almost exclusively one of those Linux weirdos. The only non-Linux computer touching I do is for work. XD

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Peasantry. My last 3 jobs were all chosen with the requirement I could run Linux

Same. Everytime I use my work laptop with Windows I feel like a boomer trying to figure out how it works and complaining about how ugly the UI is to me now.

knightly , (edited )

I’m amazed at how long it takes to boot up, too. Especially after the login screen, it’s like 5 minutes from entering my password to the company VPN app finally starting up in the background.

Meanwhile my 8 year old desktop (I use Arch, btw) takes all of 20 seconds, including both the login and the grub menu.

anarchoilluminati ,
@anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net avatar

Haha Yeah, Windows feels ancient. Maybe it’s the speed but I also just think it’s clunky. I’m also always confused when I try to use something and then I get a demand for a paid license, like, why the fuck would I pay for this?

I use a fairly new laptop and I use Pop but it’s so snappy, everything I need and want works without issues, and boots near instantly. It’s perfect for me.

Nobody uses Linux guys, that shits for nerds

True. I use arch btw

Lol nerd

Woah, you are old. I use nixos btw

superkret ,

Woah, you are young. I use Slackware btw
