I can't imagine why the windows 11 market share is dropping.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Is it? Even if it is, it's probably dropping in favour of win10, rather than Linux.

Windows 11 market share has been going down, while Linux market share has been going up by a few percent. I doubt that people are going back to an older OS. But even if that's the case: These Windows 10 users will eventually have to find some other OS, as Win 10 won't get security updates after 2025. Sure, not all of them will switch to Linux, but I'm sure that a notable portion of them will.

I wish I shared your optimism. Most likely most regular users won't care about not getting security updates, some of the ones that do will switch to Linux, but the majority (of the minority of people that care about getting security updates) will probably switch to win11, macOS, or ChromeOS (which might as well not be based on the Linux kernel seeing as it's so locked down).

No actually they nailed it, Windows 11 is losing ground to Windows 10 lol! (Sorry about the crap source. There are plenty of others from the same time frame, I'm just lazy. )

My personal guess is that's just because people aren't buying new systems right now, but that's just a guess.

We'll see if MS holds strong on their Windows 10 phase out date, though. There will be a LOT of pressure to delay that, I think.

Like others have mentioned it is dropping in favor of 10 but some who are knowledgeable are moving to Linux as well. Corporations are looking into shifting to alternatives (Linux) as windows 10 loses support... and becomes very expensive per user to keep after Microsoft drops it.

I am dreading the day my company makes me "upgrade" my windows 10 laptop to 11. I really hope they're paying for legacy support for 10.

I right click, soooooo often when managing files at my job. I'm going to pull out my hair if I can't change the "see more" behaviour.

Also, I'm a top taskbar user (that's where programs put their tabs, it just makes sense!)

I don't know how they could fuck up windows this badly.

"Hmmm. Why don't we release another operating system after promising 10 would be the last for a long time, pull the rug out from under those that bought 10 and threaten them with lack of security so we force them to upgrade, and require they buy all new hardware! It's not like the average person is struggling with the economy, I mean I just bought another yacht so I'm sure they're just as fine. We'll be drowning in money!"
