I've been a Mac user since the late 80s and the news of its dominance has escaped me.
I'm interpreting that as clickbait - just something they added to the title to drive traffic.
~15-20% is nothing to sneeze at, but hardly dominance
Dominance*
*- if you ignore the actual dominant party
A lot of people in unis over here use macs
Maybe dominant in the USA? People venerate Malus products there.
But any tech company provides Macs now, not Linux hardware. They even boast about it in their job ads and use it as bait.
This is great! Now if we can only stop talking down to each other for using whatever distro you don’t like bc whatever 🤷🏼♀️ I’m loving using diff distros, but dang if the community’s toxicity isn’t a turn off :/
I build my own jokes!

<mint just works, y'all jokes>
Btw I use Debian
Whenever someone brings up distro wars in just remind them we're not using windows.
And the Linux / Unix-specific ecosystem & technology arguments therein.
Yeah and good luck mentioning that macOS is UNIX.
Year of the Linux Desktop lfg!!
IT'S THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!
Dominance?! Ha!
Yeah only makes sense if you call it "desktop *NIX dominance" or maybe just "non-Windows dominance."
You're 4 months late
Also it went down to 3.77

I love Linux but I wish the BSDs weren’t getting left behind.
For the record, I really like macOS and Apple products as my “consumer” devices but all my side projects, web servers, routers, etc. run Linux. I ran FreeBSD for a long time until I got into containerization and Docker.
Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.
What are the reasons one wouldn’t count ChromeOS? I guess I don’t know much about it, is it somehow “less Linux” than your run of the mill Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, openSUSE, etc?
Count me in! Switched to Linux Mint for my DD last month.
Only thing I'm missing is a very dead simple 3D modeling replacement for the Windows one (the others have a steep learning curve). I'll have to find a browser based option...
It's unfortunate that the Adobe suite is not on Linux. FreeCAD and Blender are the standard of 3D modeling on Linux but Adobe Web has been picking up steam lately.
If you have two computers you can add the program to Steam on Windows and Stream it.
If it's not very performance heavy then you could run it in a VM and use something like Dropbox or Mega to sync your work through the Internet.
If the files are very large I'm not sure, but I think you might be able to mount a shared filesystem that's used by both the VM and the Linux host
