Windows Drops Under 60% in Global Desktop OS Share for the First Time in Years

It’s all little by little, of course, but I think we are rapidly approaching a tipping point. Lennox is now getting to be easy enough that non-technical users are able to start using it. And Linux has been as good as windows and macOS in the other ways (ie desktop GUI, usage, etc), so it makes it a very nice alternative. I remember when it was a nightmare to get Linux to work. I also remember when it was a nightmare to get Linux audio to work. Now both work nicely and quite easily. Each of these milestones brings more opportunities for adoption by non-technical users. This is probably why we are seeing a trend where Linux adoption is growing and windows adoption, and Mac adoption is dropping.

I hope these two posts about "Lennox" aren't a result of you trying to post something here from your Linux PC (or Android phone).

Haha!! I used my phone’s voice to text to transcribe my message, rather than typing it all out by hunting and pecking with my fingers on my phone. For some reason, even though I have never used the word “Lennox”, every time I say the word “Linux”, my phone thinks I’m talking about the Eurythmics. I went back through and cleaned up and changed what I thought was all of the mistakes. Apparently I missed a few.

No worries. My phone seems to think I'm saying "ducking" a lot more than I actually am, so I know how you feel.
