I almost never seen Macs irl growing up, it was very much Windows country where I live. So obviously when I asked for a computer as a kid it came with Windows, in my case Vista...
Only in the last maybe 8? years I started seeing people who used Macs irl and it tends to be younger people who only have a Macbook for online school stuff.
Also yes I'm the only Linux desktop user I know, Even the servers in every office I've worked in have been Windows.
Windows vista. Man that's a memory.
And not a good one.
Better than ME
Thatβs facts
Which country? Similar feeling here. Then when I went to engineering school there were a few linux users. Into the workforce; some linux server stuff, Novell, redhat etc, mostly windows. All desktops windows. Moved away for 8 years, come back and its a lot of Macs, and some Linux workstations. Wild times. I now know quite a few linux users. Some who have macs for work but run linux at home. Or like me have just completely gone linux.
Rural England in my case, I do see a lot more Macbooks in coffee shops when I end up in the cities.
But I've yet to see any Linux systems in any place around here I've worked at. I've not officially worked in any I.T. role before, but I've ended up forced into a server closets when everything's going to shit before a deadline. And every time it's either desktop Windows or Windows XP server 2003.
