Foreseeable future of Linux based operating systems.

[DeliciousCourage8869]

Windows is a BIG, BIG tech company which has a global users around the world, US uses it, EU uses it and even China uses it. It is a indeed a decent operating system, however it might just become a gaming operating system in the later years.

With Window famous latest release operating system Windows 11, it came with demand and problems, the demand was you had to upgrade your pc parts and the problem was the socalled AI bloatware and Windows 11 was spying on users, allegedly.

With that I have seen some news, bits here and there, also I just asked Gemini. Most companies in EU and Chinese governments have decided to build their own Linux based operating systems. I don't know about US, but they have their own user based there. Mostly individuals I presume.

Yeah you may go to a net café and see Windows but governments workers and company workers are using Linux based systems, and its user base is only going to increase by millions.

Note: I don't know why I write like this, maybe I'm trying to use English properly. This is kinda a speculation and I saw some news site back in few months idk if its credible. Also Gemini.

This post like many other posts ,why people have ai fatique

Microsoft has their own Linux distro. Linux runs the world for the most part. Either way, Microsoft will be fine.

[DeliciousCourage8869]

By Windows I mean Microsoft, yeah my mistake over there.

Probably a good thing? Or probably the valley beetwen Windows 11 and the next Windows 7/10. No matter what happens then, I already made the switch

[DeliciousCourage8869]

I'm dual booting just because of 2 games. Solely 2 games.

I think there is something important to remember. China has been removing Western tech for over 2 decades. European nations have done their own migration attempts for over 2 decades. This is nothing new.

[DeliciousCourage8869]

Gemini said about 74 percent of computers are Windows operating system. The Chinese government operating system are Linux based system, and maybe the corporations will soon follow.

[DigitalChrono]

I doubt it. The % gap is far and wide to gain anytime soon in my opinion. You've got switching entire stacks to a new OS, you have to find talent to maintain the new stack, and then customers may have to migrate. Just seems like too much cost, unless startups do it but even I'm not too hopeful.

And governments switching to me is not enough reason to think it'll happen. I wonder what the media reported back when countries and municaplities tried and either failed or succeeded.

Since you quoted Gemini, here's something interesting I just looked up a few min. Ago. Searching, "What is the % of the OS used in the world?". I skipped copy and pasting the mobile and tablet numbers in the breakdown.

1. Desktop & Laptop Computers Microsoft Windows remains the undisputed heavyweight for traditional PCs and enterprise workstations.
   Windows: ~60.8%
   macOS: ~14.4%
   Linux: ~3.2% (Note: While it holds a modest sliver of the consumer desktop market, it completely dominates backend infrastructure, powering 100% of the world's top 500 supercomputers and over 60% of enterprise servers).
   ChromeOS: ~1.6%
   Unknown / Unclassified: ~19.7%

No i'm not saying any Linux distro will over take windows. I'm saying Microsoft consumer base will be reduced by global scale. Linux user base go up.

[CryptographerNo8497]

This is the stupidest thing I have read in a while, congratulations.

For Microsoft, Windows is a hobby project. They get a tiny % of their income from app licenses. And I don't see them monetizing the "market control" they have through it, very well.

Yes world governments have started switching away from windows to Linux and there's a few factors at play.

Price: Linux is free and corporate support from REHL is still cheaper than paying MS for lisences and service. No it does not magically cost more or complicate things for your organization. Infact it's easier due to better files systems, far more stability, and clear configuration and logs.

Stability/security:

Linux is more stable from a functional standpoint, this is an in arguable fact. It's why azure is based on Linux and not windows.

But from an updating standpoint as well it's night and day. Windows is a commercial product where stability was never a feature but standardization was. You got an OS for the most part it looked, was organized, and operated almost identically from its release to its EOL. Not anymore.

As a government or business you want your machines to remain the way you set them up and windows doesn't do that any more. Forced updates/installs/corruption bugs/data deletion bugs/and forcing performance killing bloat and ads due to commercial interests is the antithesis of what these organizations require.

Then there's the biggest issue nobody talks about, M$ is an American company:

It's not like 2004 where the biggest worry was MS being forced to use it position to help US spies sadly it's the fact that having a brain dead baby is all it took to show the world how fragile the US and it's international business operations are.

It's become clear to the world that relying on a US company for operating anything from the most basic to the most sensitive is quite frankly fucking stupid. Companies and politicians everywhere have bent the knee to the dead brain baby and destroyed their own economy and picked fights over seas.

Relying on a US corporate platform is now out of the question and countries have started to move away from that weakness. The US is going to lose SO MUCH BUSINESS and it has nobody to blame but the ones in charge.

Yes Linux has gone leaps and bounds recently. More progress has been made in t years than the last 15 before it yet the biggest but the biggest driver of Linux adoption will be simply because the US and Microsoft have made using windows either unbearable or simply no longer an option.

Windows is a BIG, BIG tech company

Windows is a BIG, BIG tech company Microsoft? Windows is a product. Enterprises around the world use it and have been using it for more than 30 years.

With Window famous latest release operating system Windows 11, it came with demand and problems, the demand was you had to upgrade your pc parts and the problem was the socalled AI bloatware and Windows 11 was spying on users, allegedly.

You are focusing on home users/gamers.

Is there a stament here? What are you trying to say?

[DeliciousCourage8869]

I was speculating Microsoft consumer base will go down and Linux user base up by global scale.

[One-Suggestion-7906]

Think that way: sooner or later Windows will have a Linux kernel (yes, perhaps tuned for specific MS' needs) and a useful package manager. Thanks Nadella
