_____________________________
In this video, I discuss the impressive growth of Linux on the desktop, which is nearing a 5% market share. As someone who has been using Linux as a daily driver since my teenage years—back in the days of Windows Vista, when getting WiFi cards and printers to work on Linux was a real headache—I've witnessed firsthand how far Linux has come. Now, with Microsoft making questionable decisions and Linux becoming easier to use, especially for gaming, it's no wonder more people are making the switch. Join me as I explore why Linux is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
