And people wonder why Linux has never gained large marketshare
Oh, for sure. Windows marketshare never drops only because of its friendly community.
But it's on your phone, it's powering most websites including this very lemmy instance, it's on Steam Decks. Linux is everywhere. But if you want to narrow it down to desktop computers then sure, it doesn't have anywhere near the marketshare windows has.
People generally mean consumer facing products when they talk about market share. In particular I was commenting on how many Linux communities are still obsessed with the idea that desktop Linux will win out over Windows
Android is basically Linux. But I don't see many communities obsessing over it, the 'year of the linux desktop' thing has been a meme for decades.
Queue any discussion of Wayland/Xorg, Systemd, flatpacks, snaps, distro choice, ~~Pipewire/Pulseaudio~~ (last one is easy, Pipewire ftw), Vim/Emacs, GPL/MIT, immutability, etc..
Hah yeah it's crazy. Anyway, zsh or death.
Fish is obviously superior (:
It's POSIX shell or nothing
Nvim > emacs
It begins
Tried Helix yet?
First rule of Arch Linux is you defintely talk about Arch Linux
Arch user, a cyclists and a vegetarian walk in to a bar
Btw
I use Arch by the way.
I use Arch and only use Vim or Emacs for config files. That's Linux flex culture right there. π
Vim or Emacs? Stick to one, you editor two timer!
Pathetic and bloated. Nano is all you need
I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.
Debian unstable for all 11 of us crazy fuckers out there.
Tbh, I haven't experienced too many issues other then modifying a couple prgrams to be compatible with OpenRC. On my main desktop I use Debian 12 and Systemd with my 2080 SUPER and haven't encountered any issues.
Although, when I tried to install the open kernel version of the NVIDIA driver, my system didn't like it, so I ended up installing the full proprietary driver and it works well. Will be switching to AMD once I need to buy another graphics card.
(I use Gnome as my DE with two 1440p 144hz monitors)
