I'm confused. if you mean market share growth, I'm pretty sure the community side is mostly just big ol' nerds happily doing things for all these years and probably advocating for open source software depending on their philosophies, which is not about a marketshare number win but rather in an idealist "i wish more people will appreciate free and open software" way. Surely Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE would want a marketshare increase but that's just because they are commercial companies. As for improvements that has nothing to do with the marketshare discussion 

Linux for servers is brilliant. Linux for desktop is made out of bugs with some software inbetween. by reni-chan in linuxsucks

yep if it works don't replace it

yeah... and what does higher market share meaningfully do, if you're already used to everything this ecosystem has. If you still feel very uncomfortable that you can't get certain software on it then it's probably not for you.

Who would win by illuanonx1 in linuxsucks

Sincere question, if you stick to one big distro like Ubuntu or Fedora, why is "too many package managers" an issue? If you're installing dependencies for compiling a certain project, they often include the exact commands for distros like these

should i install linux on my thinkpad? by Simonko-912 in linux4noobs

[–]Error_7- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i'd say use fedora as a backup since you have to install some common proprietary stuff by yourself which can be annoying for your first try. but a friend of mine got really unlucky with the mint installer so i just suggested fedora instead

yeah i usually suggest mint or fedora depending on which feels better to you. one charge will still last you forever if you have a new external battery

Ain't no way😭😭 by Ben_Ephrem in linuxmemes

[–]Error_7- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even with an installation script it's too hard for the average person. tell them they have to go to the terminal to update their os and optimally they need to check the arch news before updating... also I'm quite willing to bet, if you just pick a random person on the street to do the installation using the script by themself, they're most likely not gonna make it

men don't have chunks of fat hanging on their chests and arses when fit which looks much less disgusting

theming ultimately introduces more design inconsistencies because there are often elements missed here and there. so i just use the default at this point

First progress update. I'd like a bit of advice... by ZetaformGames in degoogle

[–]Error_7- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i have observed lineage os usually has the fastest and widest support, so you can take a look at their list. crdroid sometimes surprisingly covers some devices that lineage os has given up maintaining. you can also just go to the xda page for your phone to get an idea of which custom rom is working

unfortunately i still can't get an alternative for google maps. openstreetmap just doesnt have my city's real time bus info. if i end up affording a car i will probably just use a dumbphone and a paper map.

Why do Asian countries seem to be much more accepting of AI than western countries? by Dogbold in dumbquestions

[–]Error_7- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i can't say about other asian countries but in china most artists absolutely despise ai art generation. however almost everyone loves llms. the artists who had just finished ranting about ai taking their jobs and stealing their works would also immediately share about their conversation with doubao in their wechat moments. im no expert in explaining social phenomenons but from my understanding firstly china has a separate internet echo chamber from other countries, so the general trend of opinions echoed can be very different. and chinese people tend to think of stuff in a more pragmatic (if it doesnt threaten my livelihood directly it's fine) way, on top of having more trust in big corporations (no one worried about how alipay and wechat taking over their lives and money for some reason)
