It definitely is depending on what you’re measuring. I’ve personally seen at least three times more people pushed to Linux each month since Windows 11 was released. Probably more. Windows 11 is the fastest Windows version at creating new Linux users, easily.
Agreed, Windows 10 pushed me to dabble in Linux, Windows 11 pushed me to update my home server, lappys and gaming desktop all to Linux.
I saw a lot more “I’m converting immediately” posts after win 8 tbh, and I wasn’t even on Lemmy surrounded by the most hardcore Linux devotees this side of slashdot. 2012 wasn’t the year of the Linux desktop and 2025 won’t be either. There won’t be a year of the Linux desktop until OEMs start shipping it by default on new hardware.
Tons of OEMs are. Way more than in 2012.
That’s true but we’re far from critical mass. I will say the steam deck has done more than any other single innovation in the 25 someodd years I’ve been paying attention to this stuff.
