@TheNanaimoBarScene @testeronious its just an average. Those Linux users are probably concentrated into a niche userbase, not evenly spread into the population. They are not your average users, who mostly run windows. But they are definitely there and I'm glad to see that.

@bigmclargehuge it's pretty impressive how far along Linux has come. I also feel things mostly just working these days. I am facing some issue with a fingerprint reader on my laptop not being supported, but there are definitely fully compatible fp readers out there, even from the same manufacturer. And there's general stability, at least as good as on windows and I do say that while tinkering quite a bit.

And for many things AI related, like running models locally, this is almost a Linux first experience. Just the recently was I impressed how easy it was to get local llms to run using ollama, even on my laptop with an Nvidia GPU. Impressive.
