Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.

Yeah my current PC is only just starting to hit it's (gaming) limits now, still plenty strong for literally any other purpose, but yeah no I'll just build a whole new PC just so I can be forced into an OS I don't want when they stop supporting the one I'm on. It's a fucking joke, I hate this ride and I want off of it.

I'm only just starting to get comfortable on Linux, I had a crack many years ago but switched back promptly to windows. Once I'm more comfortable and there's better gaming support I'll make the switch, it's just not quite there yet for me.

I've been distro hopping a bit with my orange pi, I'm glad I didn't dual-boot my desktop as I'm already struggling for storage with these 100+gb games being the norm now. I don't think my steam library folders have seen more transfers between HDD and SSD ever.

With that said though, I did just order all the parts for a new PC, but that was only because of some good deals and am able to bring a bunch across. I've got a fair few parts that are still very new or low mileage, or were overspecced for the future and still have many years of viability left.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
