After the rather exciting development in the last Steam Hardware & Software Survey where Linux users overtook macOS for the first time, the latest survey shows Linux continues to be above macOS but with the numbers dipping down.
This means something that has been true since before OS X was invented (circa 1990-ish) that hasn’t changed.
No, it doesn’t. Linux was always behind OSX on this survey. It only changed very recently, and because these survey results fluctuate from month to month, it wasn’t clear that it would remain this way.
wow. that’s what i’d call weird computer science. like, we could take that 80’s song and get all blinded by computer science. thanks for that. I always thought linux would be ahead. about time the evil was overcome. it’s been a huge war. we users of linux have had to suffer. we might not have had to bleed to death, but we didn’t spend a premium on a mac and just let everything work, except our games.
