It would be twice as much if people could stop arguing about who counts and who doesn’t
is there a titlegore magazine here? Because this belongs there.
Have to say, I’ve been using Linux since Slackware 95. And ChromeOS + Debian container is my favorite desktop Linux experience. I do wish a couple of things are different, but with the Android app support too and the nearly seamless Wayland integration etc it’s just been so…low-maintenance. For work as a developer, etc.
Most people are not just happy because OSes that use the linux kernel now account for 3% of desktop Oses, but because presumably 3 percent of desktop users are using an OS that gives them choice and freedom. Which as the article mentioned isn’t a trait of ChromeOS, the less popular ChromiumOS on the other hand, I would happily consider Linux as having 7% of desktop users out there if ChromiumOS had that 4%.
Agreed that ChromeOS is a linux distro, weird, but a distro nonetheless! I am curious as to what percentage of ChromeOS users have actually enabled linux apps vs those who just use Chrome
