    Not sure “smashing” is the right term for 5%.

      I guess… if you ignore the overall trajectory. Not too long ago I remember it being at 1.something%

    That shamefull situation when your opponent, who wasn’t even close to your levels of popularity, started to rise because of your mistakes.

    Hell yeah.

    I ended up doing a full reinstall of my dual boot last month, and I haven’t had to touch the windows partition once.

    Unfortunately, the “Windows is trash” shift is going to hit the “computers cost HOW much now??” ceiling REALLY soon.

      Fortunately, linux runs so much better than windows, it will always feel like an upgrade.

        Absolutely.

        But most users, faced with the cost of a new PC, will opt to go completely mobile instead.

        They don’t know Linux will give an older PC new life.
