Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73% (gs.statcounter.com)

It peaked at 4.05% in March. The last 2 months it went just below 4% as the Unknown category increased. For June the reverse happened, so 4.04% seems to be the real current share of Linux on Desktop as desktop clients were read properly/werent spoofed.

And as a user do I hate it too. It is too many times while I edit an email and click delete that is deletes the email insteadā€¦ It seems if I click a word and get the spell window does the focus always change to the list of emailsā€¦ And it also force a spell correction if I click spaceā€¦ I didnā€™t pick one of the options I just want to edit the word myself!!! And if I scrolldown to remove some parts of the email thread or just want to copy a part wonā€™t it let me if I donā€™t click twiceā€¦ and it jumps aroundā€¦damn I hate it so much. Sorry that I replied to you with all these anger. But I really felt it when I saw yours and ops comment. I hope we one day will at least think it is an ok client to work with

I want to add to what the others said. Usually I just add windows programs/games to steam as none steam game. that has been the easiest way to do it for me. I have very few games that isnā€™t on steam so it is nice to be able to add them together with the rest with the correct categories and such.

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are ā€œmainstreamā€ ā€œbeginner friendlyā€ distros, right? I donā€™t want anything too advanced, right?...

I have always wondered what advance is when ppl say Linux is difficult when you have to do something advance. Isnā€™t that the same for all oses? A os no matter what os (mac, android, Windows, iOS, linux) is difficult to use the first time. It doesnā€™t matter witch os it is everyone will have a hard time the first time until they learn how it works. Mac for example, it was extremely hard for me to find how to get to my root folder without using the terminal and when I told a friend about it who use mac didnā€™t they know eitherā€¦ I found out by accidently by miss clicking. Android depending on brand (what you had before) can also be annoying to use the first week or weeks until you have relearned.

Linux is the same, it isnā€™t more advance than windows or Mac the first time, it is all about learning how it works (most ppl build their Ikea furniture first and then read the manual) and windows and Linux in that regard is at least kinda similar because they donā€™t hide stuff as mac os does (you still ned a lot of knowledge to use windows too) and they are kinda alike, Mac is completely backwards in my opinion. I think everyone forgets how it was the first year they used a computer for the first time. Ppl laugh when studies shows that the younger generation do not know or do not understand the folder structure. It is all about experience and knowledge, if you know something exist then it is easier to find it.

The biggest problem i had using Linux for the first time was finding good alternatives for programs. And learning these new programs. You donā€™t have to use a terminal with most distros now days but it is a very nice and fast interface to use. It is also easier for everyone to learn and use because it is less dependent on what kind of environment you are in.

But I think we both are kinda agreeing with each other I just want to point out that all os are difficult the first time and you donā€™t have to make it harder than it is, linux is beginner friendly just like any other os.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

Iā€™m working on a some materials for a class wherein Iā€™ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and weā€™re including a section weā€™re calling ā€œfoot gunsā€. Basically itā€™s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

I felt the same way so I scrolled down hoping for a shorter answer, but found yours instead and it made me laugh my ass off because how you wrote it really hit me, are you me? xD so I just wanted to say thanks for making my day even better!

Same (proton and ublocker), but I have also found that some web pages cares what browser you use if you are on proton. If I use chrome then they may just do the verification when you wait 3 seconds but with Firefox and proton (not without proton) do I get a lot of captcha sometimes even after each other just to make triple sure I am not a botā€¦ or even get blocked entirelyā€¦
