Yet we don’t see the same growth in steam hardware survey (which is dominated by steamdeck). I wonder why.
I am using statcounter for india numbers not steam. Steam numbers are not overinflated by these office pcs. Also india have 1.5billion people so any gain here have a significant impact on stat counter worldwide numbers.
You are here agreeing with me on why linux is a inferior experience on software and hardware front. You are softening the blow by blaming developers and capitalism. You dont have to ask muta, I work in the govt health sector in india and here every pc runs ubuntu. This is same for other sectors. Everything is done on the browser. Also gaming here is dominated by Mobile so these numbers are surely overinflated.
Anyone building a new pc, is going to use modern hardware not EOL hardware. Yes it is great that linux can revive old laptops making it perfectly capable for browsing and word processing, but for a new gaming pc with modern hardware that i build to play modern games i will choose windows over linux anyday.
Linux going 3 to 4 is because govt office pc. Also why linux have a 25 percent market share in india according to the same stats. Because all these pcs need is a chrome browser and word processing. If you look at recent steam hardware survey linux only have 2 percent market share in which half of them are steam deck users.
Why should i waste time troubleshooting on linux, when windows have 100 percent game compatibility and i don’t have to worry about any future games and proton incompatibility. Also popular games like valorant, league, eft, warzone and services like gamepass, netflix 4k doesnt outright work on linux.
You can hate microsoft telemetry and bloatware all you want but Hardware and software compatibility is better on windows. It is a fact.
When people build new gaming pc they still choose to install windows, because everything just works.
Also 45 percent of that 2 is on steam deck.
How is the vrr (gsync) support on linux. On windows gsync ON + vsync ON + Reflex ON will give the least latency and smooth tear free gameplay and you don’t have to manually cap the fps for every game like you do on a amd card.
I just want to play my favourite games and do my work. For that windows just works.
I value making money and having fun with my pc more than microsoft spying on me. Ads? I dont see any ads on windows, maybe because i uninstalled things i dont want like onedrive and other apps.
How will they run adobe apps and play popular multiplayer games like cod, valorant, siege, finals, league of legends, EFT? How will they subscribe to game pass? How can they watch netflix 4k?
Whats wrong with windows? Everything just works.
5ghz wifi not working is a known problem. I had the same issue with multiple distros on a hp laptop. But i installed windows 11 and everything worked perfectly, even the trackpad for some reason felt better than in linux. Everything was taken care by windows updates.
What good does a good code base do when it cant run popular games and apps like cod, valorant, siege, league of legends, destiny, adobe apps etc? On windows everything just works even though it is not transparent or open source.
Open source software also works on windows. I use package managers on windows with terminal. I uninstall all the bloat with terminal on windows. Everything just works and is supported better on windows.
No wonder the lack of software support.
So basically linix is a fragmented mess. I will just stick to windows all my games , apps work and i can also uninstall all the microsoft bloat with a single click.
Wow why linux is so broken with multiple package mangers. Is it supposed to be easier than windows? On windows i just type “choco install blender” on terminal and everything just works.
I come back to lemmy and i read bullshit like this.
