    That’s very strange… it was reported at 4-5% last year too wasn’t it. Rico, why is it the same percentage as then and why is the acceleration still slow?

      2023/4 was steam but it was also before Microsoft started losing their mind thinking forcing people into AI would just blow over.

      I expect 2026 will have a couple more percent as a load of people are trying to escape and some of them will make it.

      why is the acceleration still slow?

      1. There’s no marketing

      2. Fear. Linux used to be a lot more complicated. It has a reputation. Windows is still far better at getting you to a gui if you really fuck it up. Checkpoints on updates and safe mode save a lot of peoples bacon.

      3. Game performance is still markedly slower, and anti-cheat titles are unplayable.

      Games are getting better, ease to install is getting better. Title availability is slowly getting better, but a lot of it is electron, so the titles themselves are getting worse. Wine/Proton is amazing and improving every day.

        Haha you’re a funny penguin Rico we can definitely kaboom this whole place after the operation is over. Actually that’s genius, you’re right!! Kawolski get me a schematic on how we can make that kaboom happen within the hour!!

            Yes a cake!! We can eat that while coming up with more of a plan and- wait good thinking Private we can give them all Linux cake until they become overweight. Once immobilized stuck in a chair then they will have no choice but to use Linux! Even Tux himself would have to see us as the best operatives with this strategy

          Bill Gates is talking to the executives, and is complaining about penguins taking over their operations. I think they know we’re here 😨

            Its alright Private we’ll just have to add them to the kaboom!! You know I like you Private you got a good head on your shoulders. Reminds me of when I started out. Now, if we can just find out where Tux is.

            “Who’s Tux Skipper?” - Private

            Whos Tux? He’s our commander Private he’s out there leading all of us penguins in our war and operations in his snazzy suit. We are the forward team here in Madagascar but we have penguins all over the world working together to stop them

            In the meantime you know what we gotta do if they find us. Just smile and wave boys smile and wave
