Desktop Linux is now inevitable. Here's why. https://subscribeto.me/videos/watch/c31249a7-9e50-45d7-8473-6c9729ad4bf1 Linux market share for Desktop/Laptop PCs in North America have grown by at least four points for the last two months. Now reaching over 10%, we're seeing the dominos starting to fall and the broader culture catching up. This is proof that not only is Linux on the desktop inevitable, but that we need to keep up the good fight. 00:00 Linux market share is growing 01:00 It's not just stats counter 01:53 Steam hardware survey 02:33 Why is desktop Linux growing? 04:40 People are looking to reclaim their digital autonomy 05:16 KDE Plasma, GNOME, and software distribution 05:52 Linux just gets out of your way 07:00 Hope in a world that feels hopeless Fri, 14 Aug 2026 21:36:05 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://dudelike.wtf Desktop Linux is now inevitable.

While this assumption is not absurd the question is: why do these raise rhe numbers now and identify as Linux?

I hope that in fact it is just the number of sold steam machines, that would be a great achievement for Valve and Linux 😉

SO many people are trapped on Windows because of just ONE app. It's like they are being held hostage.

And I'm one of those who will be switching to Linux now. Mostly driven by Microsoft pushing me out, but seeing how Linux has evolved since last I used it 25 years ago, is really amazing.
