Year of the Linux desktop.
good
the less normalfags are interested in linux the longer it stays a quality product for enthusiast
prove me wrong

Good. Linux should die a slow and painful death.
It's not enough that /g/ is utterly retarded when it comes to technology, you're also unable to properly read and make sense of a chart.
You idiots should try and think how many more hits google gets now compared to 2005.
The internet was a lot smaller back in 2005
If Google bases the stats on quantity of overall searches then it would look like interest is declining while what is really happening is that there are simply more different searches unrelated to linux. While overall interest remains the same.
Honestly though Linux would be dead if Google didn't use it. Also distros do appear to be suffering from abandonment.
>>52614938
>>52614947
I'm enjoying your delusions
>>52614947
Not dead but smaller.
The fact that Google uses Linux is pretty much irrelevant.
Their contributions to the kernel are tiny compared to redhat/intel/ibm.
Not to mention they've done shit-fuck on the more superficial level of it.
>>52613114
Everything that gets adopted by the mass become shit in no time.
I really hope the day where the average retard could use and install a Linux distro by itself will never come.
>>52614947
>Honestly though Linux would be dead if Google didn't use it.
Probably, except of in servers, embedded systems, research and mainframes.
>>52615056
>Everything that gets adopted by the mass become shit in no time.
Nice rationalizing hipster
>>52615058

every fucking time
>>52615227
You're fucking retarded.
linux people aren't using google
how is this news?
>>52615248
>MUH CLI
Die faggot
>>52613114
That's actually pretty sad.
>>52615273
>muh free botnet 10 upgrade
Get cucked
>>52615273
Are you the same retard from the other thread whining about how the CLI is always a downgrade from the GUI? I'd like to remind you that you're still retarded.
>>52615323
Stallman feet must taste delicious
>>52615337
>Are you the same retard from the other thread whining about how the CLI is always a downgrade from the GUI? I'd like to remind you that you're still retarded.
No but I can't stand CLI fags. The kind of people who listen mp3 with a command line application.
>>52615373
I never said anything about the CLI. You just associated me with it because I'm posting pro-Linux. You have absolutely no real rebuttal and are just looking for things to call people out on.
>>52615402
Oh prolinux guys have so many arguments.
I'm acting exactly like you do. How does that feel?
>>52615425
So are you going to actually provide a rebuttal or just keep spewing nonsense?
>>52615373
what is the difference?
I mean if you have your command line application that plays music and you have your graphical music application, what would be different?
Searching for music is still done by a keyboard, play/pause / skip is still done by media keys.
>>52613144
you can easily run photoshop on Linux, you dipshit
wow it's nothing
(windows 8.1 and windows vista are omitted due to comparison limit, both significantly less than xp)
Yet Linux usage has gone up massively. Include android in that graph.
Linux dominates the mobile and server&supercomputer market.
>>52615463
>So are you going to actually provide a rebuttal or just keep spewing nonsense?
Rebuttal to insults?
>>52615483
yes, I think it has more to do with less interest in desktops in general than less interest in just linux. And from your graph we can see that as interest in Windows drops, interest in Linux stays the same. So not the year of Linux desktop but not the end of it either (that probably will never happen).
>>52615522
Huh, I hadn't realized all I did was call you retarded. Got a few arguments going on right now. Regardless the point still stands.
>>52615540
>Regardless the point still stands.
What point?
>>52613114
We all moved to Arch.
>>52613114

>>52615560
That you're retarded.

Why are you so butthurt?

>>52615592
>>I fucking hate you for not using bloated proprietary software!
But I don't hate you because you don't use proprietary software. I hate you because you are the fucking cancer of the tech world.
a cuking cancer in the tech world.
>>52615577
>That you're retarded.
Aren't you just proving my point?
>>52615682
There are certain people where all you can really do is insult, because you know no matter what you say they're going to either not understand, misunderstand, or just not care. You seem to be one of those people.
>>52615693
Nice cop out

Every linux faggot ever
>>52615665
Nah, you are just butthurt you can't do the same. I bet you salivate over desktop threads and their 1337 glowing green terminals.
>>52615729
Your post >>52615227 is where I called you retarded initially, because you fail to see that Linux is a big thing, and not because of Google specifically. Google could not exist ever and Linux would probably still be a thing today.
Also
>muh embedded
Only one of the things anon listed.
Good, the less casuals the better. Linux gamers can fuck off too.
>>52615773
>Nah, you are just butthurt you can't do the same. I bet you salivate over desktop threads and their 1337 glowing green terminals.
You are right. Those VT100 emulation modes are so leet. One day I'm going to be so 1337 to enjoy the experience of computing like it's 1972.
Poor linuxfags, I'm sorry for them.
>>52615810
>Linux gamers can fuck off too.
>I don't need good GPU drivers anyway
Kill yourself.
>>52615804
>because you fail to see that Linux is a big thing,
Not on the desktop
>>52615840
And? Why do I care if other people use Linux on the desktop? Wider Linux adoption is only going to result in floods of why won't my *.exes work and etc. stupid questions to sift through while doing things like troubleshooting
Now couldn't be a better time to switch to Linux.
>NSA/Windows 10
>AMD going open source
>Wayland and Vulkan this year
I just switched to Debian and I couldn't be happier.
>>52613114
Of they spent 10% of the effort used for desktop ricing on actual gpu drivers and better software compatibility overall they would have had a real shot when Windows 10 arrived. But no, instead we we get to have a look at their grey and pink minimalist DE with CP pics that are cartoons so they can argue they're not actually a pedo.
Year of the linux desktop has been here for ages.
Lots of businesses and governments use Linux because they don't want to pay for Windows licenses.
>Especially within Technology, Legal and Higher Education, as unlicensed/pirated software is quite costly for those arenas.
It's only getting more exposure as the years go on, and it's sort of hit a point where it doesn't matter for a lot of corporate environments any more since there is such a focus on BYOD.
MS will continue making their cash with Windows Server, Exchange and Office.
Apple hardware will become more prevalent in business due to BYOD.
The consumer desktop though?
~2020 except it won't be desktop since the desktop will be dead and most plebs will only be using android and the like.

You will never be a 1337 *nix wizard-hacker like me if you don't understand the usefulness of mpd/ncmpcpp over a home network.
>b-but my clickable buttans
Guess what fag, you can get those too.
Linux has literally taking over everything except the desktop. It's going to take over the Universe any minute now.
>>52615924
You know that's exactly what would happen.
>>52613144
>prove me wrong
Dwindling interest is how projects get canned anon.
>that windows10 love
This is point when Linux died, and now we got only Ubuntu®™-
>>52615929
I enjoy shitposting as much as you, but try to be more subtle next time.
>>52613114
It was replaced by GNU / Linux
Linux will survive, just in mobile form.
>>52616160
>Linux will survive, just in mobile form.

>mfw Linux marketshare on phones, mainframes, and super computers
>>52615944
that's a bigger concern for products designed for mass market appeal, which linux is not
>>52613114
Great bait OP. That is a photoshop
>>52615483
This here. Linux seems to be catching up a bit in fact, though the initial win10 peak messes the graph up
>>52615944
Increasing interest in the wrong sort of projects is how nerds writing software for nerds, by nerds give up and buy macs since they can no longer escape the bloat
If the normies and corporate faggots leave we might be left with a decent alternative to UNIX that isn't totally OS X-ified
>>52616567
OSX is UNIX for people who get laid

Took a tour of the Red Stone Arsenal in Huntsville AL. All of the technical fields ran Red Hat Fedora. Missles? Linux. Destructive/Nondestructive testing? Linux. Statics and analysis? Linux. Linux do what windon't, my friends.
