108 days till end of windows 10*
I think. Saw thumbnails about how to get extended support?
Desktop Linux’ marketshare is going to steadily increase, but as time progresses, so will the speed of that increase. Linux was at or below 1% for a really long time but within the last 5 years or so it jumped to ~5%. As this not only means more users, but also more attention and developers, this will of course snowball. The end of Win10 will also give a bump. And if the enshittification of Windows continues (it probably will) and if US-based companies are becoming a red flag for non-US-customers (will probably also happen) then it will snowball even faster.
At least in my part of the world the number of desktop users as a whole is going down with so many younger people deciding their phone is sufficient for everything. How long before those numbers cross?
