StatCounter reported that desktop Linux reached over 4% market share for the first time. I've used Linux for years. Here's why I think it's finally catching on with more people.

      There was a time 10-20 years ago when what you said wasnt a joke, but a promise and a threat, lol.

      Linux has come a long way in that time. Not just technically, but usability wise, and even in the mellowing-the-fuck-out of the community that, at a time, were very aggressively against making things more user friendly and letting people into their exclusive technical club.

      and I’m glad for it. Its good for the OS, and its good for its future, and its good for the community.
