        Let me rephrase: After months of constant nagging by Linux users, Windowsers briefly tried it and found that their personal needs aren’t well met by either OS.

          Maybe? But in reality the stat changes are to do with an influx of Chinese players that happens every year around this time. The vast majority of Chinese players use Windows.

          Also I had a friend try Linux, and while it isnt all sunshine and rainbows (and he is about the furthest from an IT guy i can think it), he gets a solid 40+ FPS more than Windows 10. I am not forcing him to use, he just defaults to it now because shit is way smoother, and the alternative is using W11 which can legit brick your SSD (not worth it in this economy).

          Also, I really don’t understand being attached to software or developing a personality around it. If Linux doesnt serve my needs I’ll simple use FreeBSD (or HardenedBSD). If that doesn’t work, I hope by that point RedoxOS is mature. Etc for any software.

      In English language installs, Linux went up from 7% to 8%. The dip is due to an influx of Chinese users. Happens every year during Lunar New Year.
